    摘要: A method for recovering scandium, by which scandium is able to be recovered from nickel oxide ore. The present invention comprises: a leaching step S1 for obtaining a leachate by leaching a nickel oxide ore containing scandium with use of sulfuric acid; a neutralization step by adding a neutralizing agent thereto; a sulfurization step by adding a sulfurizing agent to the post-neutralization solution; an ion exchange step by bringing the post-sulfurization solution into contact with a chelating resin; a dissolution step by obtaining a precipitate of scandium hydroxide by adding an alkali into the scandium eluent, and subsequently adding an acid solution to the scandium hydroxide; a solvent extraction step by bringing the scandium acid dissolution liquid into contact with a neutral extractant; and a scandium recovery step by adding oxalic acid to the extraction residue and subsequently roasting the salt of scandium oxalate.

    摘要: Provided is a method for recovering scandium as scandium oxide that contains high-quality scandium and in which coarse particles having good handling properties are formed. This method for recovering scandium includes a step for carrying out an oxalate conversion process wherein oxalic acid is used in a solution containing scandium (scandium-containing solution) to generate a reaction in which the scandium is converted into an oxalate form, the method characterized in that the temperature of the reaction solution during the oxalate conversion process is 50° C. to 80° C.

    摘要: Disclosed here is a method for making a monolithic rare earth oxide (REO) aerogel, comprising: preparing a reaction mixture comprising at least one rare earth metal nitrate, at least one epoxide, at least one base catalyst, and at least one organic solvent; curing the mixture to produce a wet gel; drying the wet gel to produce a dry gel; and thermally annealing the dry gel to produce the monolithic REO aerogel. Also disclosed is an REO aerogel comprising a network of REO nanostructures, wherein the REO aerogel is a monolith having at least one lateral dimension of at least 1 cm, wherein the REO aerogel has a density of about 40-500 mg/cm3 and/or a BET surface area of at least about 20 m2/g, and wherein the REO aerogel is substantially free of oxychloride.

    摘要: Provided is a method for producing, from scandium oxalate crystals obtained through an oxalate conversion process, a readily-soluble scandium compound that dissolves easily in an aqueous solution such as an acid. This method for producing a scandium compound involves carrying out an oxalate conversion process using oxalic acid in a solution containing scandium, separating the product obtained through the oxalate conversion process into a liquid and scandium oxalate crystals, and obtaining a scandium compound by roasting the obtained scandium oxalate crystals at a temperature of 400° C. to 800° C., preferably 400° C. to 600° C.
