In the process of recovering rare earth from NdFeB waste and polishing powder waste, there are problems such as large reagent consumption and high processing cost. In view of the above problems, using the reducibility of the iron in the NdFeB waste, a combined process was studied to recover rare earth from two kinds of waste. The results show that when NdFeB waste is dissolved with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid and oxalic acid 1.2 times the mass of rare earth is added into the acid solution, the iron precipitation rate is 7.87%, and the rare earth precipitation rate can reach 96.51%. Adding 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid to the precipitated liquid is used to reduce and leach rare earth from the polishing powder waste. Under the conditions of solid mass to liquid volume ratio of 3 g/6 mL between the polishing powder waste and the precipitated liquid, the product ratio of hydrochloric acid to the precipitated liquid of 7/6, reaction temperature of 60 ℃, and reaction time of 30 min, the average leaching rate of rare earth in the polishing powder waste can reach 82.41%. The dissolved rare earth is precipitated by oxalic acid and calcined, and the total amount of rare earth oxides obtained is 98.04%. The process can realize the joint recovery of rare earth in the two kinds of waste, reduce the cost of rare earth waste treatment,and has a certain popularization and application value.
The effects of the changes of speed (N), distance (C1) from the bottom and pitch (C2) of the double-layer baffle three-arc blade composite paddle on the flow field in the stirring tank using particle image velocimetry (PIV) were studied. The flow field characteristics of the double-layer baffle three-arc blade propeller and the double-layer baffle-free three-arc blade propeller were simulated and compared. The results show that when the rotation speed N=110 r/min, the velocity distribution of the flow field in the kettle is relatively uniform, and the high-speed zone in the kettle is concentrated near the propellers. When C2=0.27h(h is the liquid level height of the stirred tank), the connection flow between the propellers is stable, and the overall mixing capacity in the kettle is significantly enhanced. When C1=0.29h, the area of the low-velocity zone in the kettle is greatly reduced. The baffle of the double-layer baffle three-arc blade propeller limits its radial pushing capacity, but the axial pushing capacity is significantly enhanced. The research results can provide a reference for the application of double-layer baffle three-arc blade propeller in practical industry.
