Abstract
The temperature regions for separate crystallization of rare-earth element (REE) oxides of the cerium group in the presence of CaCO3 have been determined using X-ray diffraction, differential thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence. The possibility to separate REE oxides from CaCO3 in H2SO4 solutions after heat treatment (450–600°C) has been studied. The solid phase of the precipitate is represented by slightly soluble calcium sulfate, whereas the REE oxides pass into the liquid phase in the form of highly soluble sulfates. After heat treatment of the test mixture of REE oxalates and calcium oxalate at a temperature higher than 750°C, calcium compounds pass into 1–2% HNO3 liquid phase in the form of nitrates, whereas lanthanide oxides remain in the insoluble phase of REE oxide solid solution having CeO2 structure.
