In view of the recovery and utilization of associated thorium resources and the control of radioactive pollution in the process of bastnaesite smelting, the migration and distribution characteristics of thorium elements in each link of smelting separation were systematically studied. After the pretreatment of bastnaesite by alkali decomposition, the leaching acidity was adjusted to 3-5 mol/L, and the thorium leaching rate was increased to 98%. Fe3+ in the feed solution was selectively removed by N235 extractant in advance, and then thorium was directional extracted by P507 extractant. The results showed that the saturated loading of thorium oxide in the diluted P507-sulfonated kerosene extraction system could reach 25 g/L. After oxalic acid back extraction, washing and burning at 1 000 ℃, the purity of thorium oxide in the final product reached 98.88%. The total yield of thorium is more than 96% for the raw material of bastnaesite containing 0.2% -0.3% thorium. The method is efficient and environmentally friendly, and has certain application potential in the release treatment of thorium-containing solid waste.
