ON EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRO-FLOTATION EXTRACTION OF HARDLY SOLUBLE EUROPIUM COMPOUNDS

Europium and its compounds are widely used in high-tech processes of nuclear and hydrogen energy, electronics, medicine and other fields. In this work, the regularities of electroflotation extraction of hardly soluble europium compounds from model systems were obtained and analyzed. The aim of the work is to obtain data on the process of electroflotation extraction of hardly soluble europium (III) compounds from model systems with background electrolyte and the addition of surface-active substances, establishing optimal conditions for efficient extraction of hardly soluble europium (III) compounds. The research was conducted at room temperature (20 ± 2 °C) in a non- current electric flotator of periodic action, which is made in the form of a vertical column. The cross-sectional area of the electric flotator is 10 cm2, the volume of the treated solution is 500 ml, the height of the apparatus is 800 mm, and the sampling valve is located at a height of 40 mm from the electrode unit. The electrode unit consists of an insoluble anode made of ORTA (titanium with ruthenium oxide coating) and of a cathode made of stainless steel mesh (cell size 0.5 × 0.4 mm, wire thickness 0.3 mm). The mass concentration of europium (III) was determined by a mass-spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma of Termo Scientific brand. Determination of particle size and particle size distribution, surface charge of particles of the dispersed phase (ξ) were carried out using a Photocor Compact-Z laser particle analyzer. The efficiency of the process of extracting hardly soluble compounds of Eu3+ was evaluated by the degree of extraction α (%). The objects of study are colloid-dispersed systems of poorly soluble compounds of europium (III) in aqueous solutions in the presence of surface-active substances of various nature and background electrolytes. The initial aqueous solution contains: СEu3+ - 0.1 g/l, Cbackground electrolyte - 1 g/l, background salts: NaCl, NaNO3, Na2SO4; Csas - 5 mg/l. It has been shown that for each type of solution the efficiency of the electroflotation process is achieved at certain pH. It is established that the optimal conditions for the extraction of europium (III) compounds are: volume current density, Jv = 0.4 A/l; process duration 10 min. For nitrate background the degree of extraction is maximum at pH 10 - 11 and at the presence of an anionic surfactant additive in the solution (Оxy surfactant A1218). When extracting europium (III) compounds from a system with a sulphate background the best results were obtained at pH values of 8 and 10, as well as the addition of an anionic and, or cationic (Septa surfactant XEV70) surfactant. Chloride background showed the best conditions for the extraction of europium (III) at pH 7 with the addition of a non-ionic surfactant of PEO-1500 brand. The degree of extraction of europium is 98-99%.

INTRODUCTION

MATERIALS AND METHODS OF RESEARCH

Rare-earth metals are important resources for the production base in many industries, as well as in the development of innovative technologies in the nuclear power industry, optics, medicine, and chemical technology. Europium and its compounds are used in atomic reactors as a neutron absorber, hydrogen power engineering during thermochemical decomposition of water, phosphors, hybrid engines of automobiles and many other products. In medicine, europium and its compounds are used in the diagnosis of various diseases and the treatment of certain forms of cancer [1, 2].

As it is known, rare-earth metals are found in many minerals, but only monacyte, bastnesite and some others are of industrial importance. The relative prevalence of rare-earth metals in nature can be judged by the composition of monacyte and bast-nesite. In this ore europium oxide contains an insignificant amount of 0.001%. This may indicate the relevance of developments in the field of extraction of europium and its compounds.

Metallic europium is obtained by reducing its compounds, as well as by electrolysis of the melt EuCls.

Electroflotation is one of the promising directions for the extraction of hardly soluble compounds, due to its high efficiency [3, 4]. Positive results were obtained on the extraction of hydroxides and other hardly soluble compounds of chromium, copper, nickel, zinc, cobalt, cadmium, iron from aqueous solutions [5-8], as well as for the treatment of oily wastewater [9-11].

Ion flotation is used to extract and separate rare-earth elements [12]. Data on ion flotation of lanthanum (III) and holmium (III) from nitrate and nitrate-chloride media were obtained [13], as well as cerium (III), samarium (III), europium (III) from chloride media [14, 15]. However, this method has a number of disadvantages, including the problem of regeneration of the collector [16].

The efficiency of the electroflotation process is shown in the extraction of lanthanum, scandium, cerium [17-23].

Electroflotation extraction of hardly soluble europium (III) compounds was carried out from model systems containing a background electrolyte, in particular, nitrate, sulfate, chloride, with a salt concentration of 1 g/l, as well as surfactant additives. All systems were studied in the range of pH 6-11.

The study was carried out at room temperature (20±2 °C) in a non-current electric flotator of periodic action [18], which is made of Plexiglas in the form of a vertical column, has a cross-sectional area of 10 cm2, the volume of the solution being processed is 500 ml, and its height is 800 mm, the sampler valve is located at a height of 40 mm from the electrode unit.

The electrode unit includes an insoluble anode made of ORTA (titanium with ruthenium oxide coating) and a cathode made of stainless steel mesh with a cell size of 0.5^0.4 mm and a wire thickness of 0.3 mm. The cathode is located above the anode in order to allow free passage of the anodic oxygen bubbles into the electrofloter column.

The efficiency of the process of extracting europium (III) compounds from solution was evaluated by the degree of extraction a in percent. The degree of extraction was calculated as the ratio of the difference between the initial (ci, mg/l) and final (cf, mg/l) concentrations of europium (III) ions in solution to the initial concentration of europium ions.

The degree of extraction (a) is a value that indicates the efficiency of the process of metal extraction, determined by the formula (1):

a = ■ 100%, (1)

where a is the degree of extraction; ci - initial metal concentration; cf - the final concentration of the metal.

The mass concentration of europium (III) was measured on a mass-spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma brand Termo Scientific.

In this paper, the effect of various types of surface-active substances is investigated: anionic surfactant - Oxy surfactant A1218; cationic surfactant -Septa Surfactant Hev70; nonionic surfactant - PE0-1500.

Determination of particle size and particle size distribution, as well as the surface charges of par-

ticles of the dispersed phase (^-potentials) were performed using a Photocor Compact-Z laser particle analyzer. Sampling was carried out in 1 ml intervals of 5, 10 and 20 min.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The formation of the dispersed phase is one of the determining stages of the electro-flotation process for the extraction of hardly soluble compounds. The conversion of europium compounds into hardly soluble forms was carried out by adjusting the pH of the medium.

Fig. 1 shows the dependence of the degree of extraction (a) of hardly soluble compounds of europium (III) on the pH of the solution.

It was established that the degree of extraction of europium (III) has different indicators and depends both on pH and on the composition of the background electrolyte. It can be seen from Fig. 1 that the extraction of europium compounds from the chloride background proceeds efficiently in the range of pH 6-7; from sulfate background at pH 8 and 10; nitrate background allows you to extract insoluble europium compounds with the best result in the pH range 10-11.

Taking into account the presence of several peaks and good reproducibility of the results (the error in the degree of extraction of europium compounds is ±3% based on the results of three measurements), when determining the values of a for a sulfate electrolyte, we assume that these peaks are associated with the extraction of various insoluble europium compounds at certain pH values.

The fluctuations in the curves of Fig. 1 for the chloride and nitrate background are less pronounced. It is known that the pH of the solution changes the proportion of accumulation, in this case, of europium compounds. The change in the share of accumulation of various europium compounds as a function of the pH of the solution apparently determines the wavy course of the a - pH curves (Fig. 1).

The influence of the nature of the background on the degree of extraction is due to the different coordination ability of the anions and the solubility of their compounds. The presence of peaks in Fig. 1 in the general case may be due to several reasons, one of which is the formation of heteroligand compounds. Evidence for the formation of such compounds may be data on the various effects of the nature of the background electrolyte on the degree of extraction of europium compounds. The formation of polynuclear complexes of europium (III) cannot be ruled out. However, this issue requires additional studies of the processes of complexation and solubility of the corresponding products.

As shown by studies of the kinetics of the electroflotation process, the maximum degree of extraction is achieved after 15 min of electrolysis. The released hydrogen and oxygen destroy the foam layer over time.

On average, the degree of extraction in all the studied solutions is 85%.

To increase the efficiency and intensify elec-troflotation, it is known that additives of surfactants are used.

To gain the deeper understanding of electro-flotation, studies were conducted and the sizes of dispersed particles of europium (III) compounds were experimentally determined, as well as the value of the zeta potential (2).

The dependence of the particle diameter on the nature of the electrolyte at pH 10 in the form of a differential distribution function is shown in Fig. 2.

It was established that, in general, the particle size is 10-20 ^m. The nature of the electrolyte does not have a noticeable effect on the size of insoluble dispersed particles, but the largest particles are observed under conditions of sulphate background. Apparently, this is associated with a higher charge of sulfate-ion, in comparison with chloride and nitrate ions.

The diameter of the bulk of insoluble particles varies from 5 to 30 ^m, which is sufficient for electro-flotation extraction. But, as laboratory tests have shown, over time, the foam layer is destroyed and it is

partially transferred into the solution volume as a precipitate, which reduces the degree of extraction.

Using the Photocor Compact-Z laser analyzer, it was found that the surface charge of a particle of Eu3+ compounds varies depending on the nature of the anion, which is part of the background electrolyte, and the type of surfactant (Tablel).

As can be seen from Fig. 3, the greatest degree of extraction is achieved with the presence of an anionic surfactant additive (Oxy surfactant A1218). It should be noted that the process is intensive and in most cases the degree of extraction (a) of europium compounds reaches a maximum value of 98% in the first 5 minutes of the experiment. Table 2 shows the average sizes of dispersed particles at pH 9-11.

The study showed that low electroflotation activity is observed for the dispersed phase, which has a ^-potential in the negative region or close to zero.

The use of surfactants of anionic, cationic and non-ionic types in the electro-flotation process leads to an increase in the degree of extraction (a). This effect is explained by a number of known factors: the adsorption of substances on the hydrophilic surface of sparingly soluble metal compounds, which makes it even more hydrophobic. Under these conditions, the formation of large flotation complexes with a developed bulk structure and lower density is possible.

Fig. 3 shows the dependence of the degree of extraction of europium compounds from solutions without the addition of surfactants and, if present, in solution.

It is seen from the Table 2 that the average size of the dispersed europium particle increased in the presence of anionic surfactant and is 40 ^m. This is probably the optimum particle size for electrofloat-ing extraction for an examined background electrolyte. The particle size when adding PEO - 1500 increased to 62 ^m, which is a rather large value. Large dispersed particles float only up to a certain point, and then, due to gravitational forces, remain in the solution volume or fall to the bottom of the electroflota-tion unit. When cationic type surfactants are added, the particle size for a given background remains almost unchanged and is 15-20 ^m.

It should be noted that with the addition of surfactants of all types, the aggregates of particles that

emerge on the surface and form a foam layer (flotation concentrate) have a stable structure. This makes it possible to extract the flotation concentrate without losing any insoluble europium particles.

The kinetics of the process of extracting hardly soluble europium compounds from the model system with sulfate and surfactant additives at pH 10 was experimentally determined. The results are presented in Fig. 4.

Электрофлотационное извлечение труднорастворимых соединений европия (III) из растворов с сульфатным фоном и добавками ПАВ. Условия эксперимента: Jv = 0,4 А/л, pH 10, Сисх (Eu3+) -100 мг/л, C(Na2S04) - 1 г/л, С(ПАВ) - 5 мг/л, 1 - без ПАВ, 2 - СептаПАВ ХЭВ70, 3 - ОксиПАВ А1218, 4 - ПЭ0-1500

It has been experimentally established that the maximum degree of extraction is reached after 5-10 min of the electroflotation process. The Fig. 4 shows that the best extraction results were obtained when anionic type surfactants (Oxy surfactant A1218) were added to the model system. With the addition of Septa surfactant HEV70 into the solution, the process also goes intensively. The degree of extraction reaches 99%. The foam layer (flotation concentrate) has a homogeneous structure and does not collapse during the entire time of the process.

Table 3 shows the average sizes of dispersed particles at pH 10-11.

One can see from the Table 3 that the average size of dispersed particles with the addition of anionic surfactant (Oxy surfactant A1218) has a value of 39 pm, which is optimal for the formation of the interaction "dispersed particle - gas bubble".

By experimentally determining the degree of extraction (a) of hardly soluble europium compounds from systems with chloride background electrolyte, it was found that the process proceeds efficiently at pH 7, and the degree of extraction is 88%.

chloride + Oxy surfactant A1218 58 63 56 42 89 88

chloride + PEO-1500 90 98 94 78 72 66

The most effective process is observed with the addition of PE0-1500, the degree of extraction at pH 7 reaches 98%.

CONCLUSION

For the first time obtained the data on the process of electrofloating extraction of hardly soluble europium (III) compounds.

It has been experimentally established that the optimal conditions for electrofloating extraction of europium (III) compounds for a solution containing Ci(Eu3+) - 0.1 g/l, C(background) - 1 g/l, C(surfactant) - 5 mg/l, with bulk density current, Jv = 0.4 A/l and the duration of the process 10 minutes are: for a nitrate background, the pH of the solution is 10-11 and the addition of anionic surfactant (Oxy surfactant A1218); for sulfate background, the pH of the solution is 8 and 10, as well as the addition of an anion-ic and, or cationic surfactant; for chloride background - pH 7 and the addition of non-ionic surfactant PE0-1500.

The degree of extraction of europium is 98-99%.
