during all the time 0 5 2 30 4 Timeihr ) Figure Chronoamperemetry for electrowinning in LiF-NdF3-Nd203 system at 1150°C to inject argon gas in electrolyte It seems that in the LiF-NdF -Nd 03 system the neodymium metal is cathodically produced by the electroreduction of neodymium fluorides while at the anode the oxidation of neodymium oxyfluorides generates oxygen according to the following equations: 2[NdF6]3~ + 6e = 2Nd(s) + 12F 3[NdOF5]4 - 6e" = 3/20 (g) + 3Nd3+ - 15F" (1) (2) It has been reported in Ref [9] that oxygen is generated at the anode during the electrolytic production of neodymium from oxide-fluoride melts The produced oxygen subsequently reacts with the carbon anode and CO and C0 gases are produced Anode efficiency was decreased that CO and C0 on anode prevent contact between anode and electrolyte called as bubble curtain effect Cell performance was improved because of these gases on the anode surface were easily removed by electrolyte flow by argon gas injection In the future, the study will focus on the mechanism of bubble curtain, and its effect during neodymium electrolysis Conclusion Electrolysis of neodymium was carried out using LiF-NdF3-Nd203 electrolyte at 1150°C Cell performance was improved by convection effect of electrolyte of argon gas injection resulting in easy flotation of CO and C0 gases formed on the near surface at anode

and Shijie Wang TMS (The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society), 2015 EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF RECYCLING RARE EARTH METALS FROM WASTE FLUORESCENT LAMP PHOSPHORS Patrick M Eduafo1, Mark L Strauss1, Brajendra Mishra1 Colorado School of Mines (Kroll Institute of Extractive Metallurgy); 1500 Illinois Street; Golden, CO, 80401, USA Waste fluorescent lamp, phosphor powder, rare earth metals, recycle, leaching Abstract Direct acid leaching of rare earth metals (REMs) from waste lamp phosphors is non-selective, leading to co-dissolution of impurities mainly calcium, phosphorus, silicon, iron and zinc Calcining the phosphor powder at different temperatures followed by leaching with HC1 isn't efficient for the extraction of all the chief rare earths especially cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La) and terbium (Tb) Therefore, multi-stage leaching operations are required for the separation of the REMs in phosphor dust This paper will outline a new process for extracting Ce, La, Tb, Eu and Y from waste fluorescent lamps using a three-stage leaching and separation process A flowsheet has been developed which shows this process is selective and efficient Introduction Increasing demands for rare earth metals (REMs) due to rapid technological growths in several high-technology applications such as green energy, efficient fuel vehicles, defense related applications, emissive displays and fluorescent lamps, etc coupled with shortage of supply has forced a paradigm shift towards finding alternative routes for rare earth production and supply The concentration of rare-earth oxides in lamps with trichromatic phosphors can be as high as 27.9 wt%, but the actual recycled phosphor fractions contain about 10.0 wt% of rare earths oxides [1], which makes them an important secondary resource A number of processes have been investigated for recovery of REMs present in phosphor powder Takahashi's group carried out a series of studies on the hydrometallurgical separation and recovery of rare earths from phosphors in the fluorescent lamp wastes [2], [3], [4], After optimization of the leaching conditions, 92% of yttrium and 98% of europium were dissolved at sulfuric acid concentration of 1.5 M, temperature of 70°C, leaching time of h, and pulp concentration of 30 g/L Wang et al have conducted leaching experiments on spent trichromatic phosphor mixtures and recovered 96.28% of yttrium with M hydrochloric acid in combination with 4.4 g/L hydrogen peroxide [5], Rabah proposed a process for the recovery of europium, yttrium and some valuable salts from spent fluorescent lamps by pressure leaching with a H2SO4/HNO3 mixture at 125 °C and MPa for hours and dissolved 92.8% of the europium and 96.4% of the yttrium present in the mixture [6], De Michelis and his co-workers produced yttrium oxalate of 99% purity from synthetic sulphuric acid leach solution by oxalic acid precipitation Yang et al [7] developed a two stage leaching process with sulphuric acid in the first stage and nitric acid in the second stage and recovered 99% yttrium and 95% europium from phosphor powder A lot of emphasis on recovery of REMs from spent fluorescent lamps has been on Y and Eu This paper proposes a method for extraction of all chief REEs - Ce, La, Tb, Y and Eu 253 Experimental A Materials Phosphor powder from the spent fluorescent lamps was provided by Veolia ES Technical Solutions, (IL, USA) All the chemicals used were of analytical grade reagents (Sigma Aldrich, USA) Deionized water was used for preparation of solutions of known concentration and 2% HNO3 was used for dilution before chemical analysis B Analysis Elemental composition in the collected phosphor powder was determined by chemical analysis Concentration of metal ions present in the leach liquor was determined by lithium fusion and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES, Optima 5300 DV Perkin Elmer Co., MA, USA) for quantification C Procedure Phosphor powder coating of the fluorescent lamps obtained was sieved with a sieve of 325 Tyler mesh to separate any broken glass particles present Leaching of the powder was carried out with different acid reagents on a hot plate with a magnetic stirring facility in a Pyrex glass beaker Samples were taken at the end of each leaching experiment and analyzed for REE and impurities in the leachate Results and Discussion A Phosphor Dust Characterization Size based separation was done to determine which size fraction will eliminate the most impurities and retain the bulk of the REE Dry sieving the powder to 44 (im results in an upgrade of the REE content by 95.56% and removal of significant impurities (61.92%) The chemical content of the phosphor powder used for the experiments show some variations, which stems from how the powders were generated by the lamp recycling company As can be seen in Table 1, the chief rare earths are Y, Eu, Ce, La and Tb, which are constituents of trichromatic lamp phosphors The main impurities include Ca and P from calcium halophosphate phosphor, Al and Si from alumina (A1203) and silica (Si0 ) used in the barrier layer between the phosphor layer and the glass tube Iron is possibly from the crushing and grinding equipment used in processing the end-of-life lamps Table : Elemental composition of the phosphor powders used in this study Elements (wt%) Y Eu Ce La Tb Ca P Fe Al Si Powder 9.50 0.64 1.48 2.09 0.65 18.50 9.54 0.31 2.72 4.33 Powder 9.65 0.67 1.66 2.15 0.69 17.50 8.35 0.32 2.50 6.33 Powder 5.46 0.37 1.05 1.27 0.41 21.34 9.95 0.38 2.13 6.61
