LiCl 용융염에서 희토류 산화물의환원율을 높이기 위해 NiO와 혼합하여 전해환원을실시하였다. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) 실험을 통해 LiCl 용융염 내에서 혼합산화물의 전기화학적 환원거동을 조사하였다. 혼합산화물로 제작된 환원전극과 그라파이트 산화전극 사이에 일정한 작동전압을 인가하여 이론전하량 대비 다양한 전하량을 공급한 후 중간생성물의 결정구조를 XRD를 이용하여 분석하였다. NiO 산화물을 첨가함으로써 전기전도성이 좋은 Ni 금속 주위로 희토류 산화물이 환원되어 RE-Ni 합금형태의 금속으로 완전히 전환되었으며, 합금을 형성하는 반응 메커니즘을 제시하였다.

We report a method for preparing rare earth oxides ($Re_xO_y$) from the recycling process for spent Ni-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. This process first involves a leaching of spent Ni-MH powders with sulfuric acid at $90^{\circ}C$, resulting in rare earth precipitates (i.e., $NaRE(SO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$, RE = La, Ce, Nd), which are converted into rare earth oxides via two different approaches: i) simple heat treatment in air, and ii) metathesis reaction with NaOH at $70^{\circ}C$. Not only the morphological features but also the crystallographic structures of all products are systematically investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD); their thermal behaviors are also analyzed. In particular, XRD results show that some of the rare earth precipitates are converted into oxide form (such as $La_2O_3$, $Ce_2O_3$, and $Nd_2O_3$) with heat treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$; however, secondary peaks are also observed. On the other hand, rare earth oxides, RExOy can be successfully obtained after metathesis of rare earth precipitates, followed by heat treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air, along with a change of crystallographic structures, i.e., $NaRE(SO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O{\rightarrow}RE(OH)_3{\rightarrow}RE_xO_y$.

Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of feeding a newly-developed rare earth mineral-yeast product, zinc oxide (ZnO) or antibiotics on the performance, nutrient digestibility and serum parameters of weanling pigs. In experiment 1, 150 crossbred barrows (24 d old and 6.28 kg BW) were fed one of five dietary treatments consisting of an unsupplemented basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with antibiotics (33 ppm tiamulin and 100 ppm chlortetracycline), ZnO (1,500 or 2,500 ppm) or 0.1% peptide-bound rare earth mineral-yeast. In experiment 2, 576 crossbred barrows (28 d old and 7.20 kg BW) were fed the same diets as those used in experiment 1 modified only by the addition of 1.0% Celite 545 to all diets as a digestibility marker. However, the negative control was not included. In experiment 1, weight gain was significantly lower (p<0.05) for pigs fed the negative control than for pigs fed diets supplemented with antibiotics, ZnO, or rare earth mineral-yeast. Pig performance did not differ between pigs fed the four supplemented diets. In experiment 2, there were no differences in performance between pigs fed diets supplemented with antibiotic, ZnO or rare earth mineral-yeast. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, calcium, phosphorus and energy were significantly (p<0.01) higher on the rare earth mineral-yeast diet than on diets supplemented with ZnO. In addition, pigs fed the diet supplemented with rare earth mineral-yeast had significantly (p<0.05) higher digestibility of histidine, lysine, threonine and valine than pigs fed the ZnO supplemented diets. Digestibility coefficients for pigs fed antibiotics tended to be intermediate to those of pigs fed rare earth mineralyeast or ZnO. In conclusion, the performance of pigs fed rare earth mineral-yeast was basically equal to that of pigs fed antibiotics or ZnO indicating that rare earth mineral-yeast can be successfully used as a growth promoter in diets fed to nursery pigs. The effects of rare earth mineral-yeast appeared to be mediated through improvements in nutrient digestibility.

파이로그린공정의 염폐기물처리과정에서 발생되는 주요 산화물 형태의 폐기물에는 희토류폐기물이 있으며 주요 구성 핵종은 Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd 등 8종이다. 최종적인 희토류폐기물의 형태는 산화물 형태로 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 붕규산 유리계 내에서 희토류 산화물의 유리화 타당성을 평가 하기 위하여 6종의 유리조성을 개발하였다. 희토류 8핵종 혼합에 대한 solubility는 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 25wt% 미만, $1,300^{\circ}C$에서 30wt% 미만 waste loading으로 온도 상승에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 liquidus temperature는 균질한 유리가 형성된 20wt% waste loading에서 $950^{\circ}C$ 이하로 평가되었다. 희토류 산화물의 유리매질 내 solubility 이상에서는 희토류-oxide-silicate 결정이 생성된 유리세라믹을 이차상으로 형성하였으며 20~25wt% waste loading의 표면균질성이 양호한 유리는 용융온도 $1,200{\sim}1,300^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 점도 100 poise 이하, 전기전도도 1 S/cm 이상으로 유도가열식 저온용융로설비에서의 운전 용이성이 매우 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 개발된 유리조성에 대한 기타 물리 화학적 특성 평가를 위한 실험들이 향후 수행될 예정이다.

An extraction chromatographic method of separating rare earth impurities from high purity $Nd_2O_3$, $Sm_2O_3$, $Gd_2O_3$, $Er_2O_3$, $Dy_2O_3$ and $Yb_2O_3$ was studied by using $HCl-NH_4Cl$ as moving phase and P507 as stationary phase. After the impurities were enriched from the eluate by chelant-activated carbon, the active carbon was ashed and the ignited residue was used to prepare the sample electrode for spark source mass spectrometric determination. The impurities in 99.9999% rare earth oxide can be determined by the proposed method with recovery over 80%.

본 연구에서는 세륨연마재 폐슬러리 건조분말로부터 세륨을 포함한 희토류성분과 알루미늄을 분리하고자 하였다. 출발원료인 세륨연마재 폐슬러리 건조분말의 희토류 중에는 산화세륨이 전체 희토류 성분의 약 40% 정도 함유되어 있는데, 산화세륨은 희토류원소들 중에서 가장 안정된 형태로 이에 대한 분해가 용이하지 않다. 그러므로 황산화반응을 이용하여 산화세륨을 분해하므로써 희토류의 분리ㆍ회수율을 향상시키고자 하였으며, 침출용액으로부터 희토류와 알루미늄을 분리하기 위하여, 희토류 원소들은 황산매질에서 황산나트륨과 반응하여 황산나트륨희토류(ReㆍNa($SO_4$)$_2$)를 형성하면서 침전되는 특성을 이용하였으며 쉽게 희토류와 알루미늄을 분리할 수 있었다.

Rare earth magnets with excellent magnetic properties are indispensable in the electric device, wind turbine, and e-mobility industries. The demand for the development of eco-friendly recycling techniques has increased to realize sustainable green technology, and the supply of rare earth resources, which are critical for the production of permanent magnets, are limited. Liquid metal extraction (LME), which is a type of pyrometallurgical recycling, is known to selectively extract the metal forms of rare earth elements. Although several studies have been carried out on the formation of intermetallic compounds and oxides, the effect of oxide formation on the extraction efficiency in the LME process remains unknown. In this study, microstructural and phase analyses are conducted to confirm the oxidation behavior of magnets pulverized by a jaw crusher. The LME process is performed with pulverized scrap, and extraction percentages are calculated to confirm the effect of the oxide phases on the extraction of Dy during the reaction. During the L ME process, Nd is completely extracted after 6 h, while Dy remains as Dy₂Fe₁₇ and Dy-oxide. Because the decomposition rate of Dy₂Fe₁₇ is faster than the reduction rate of Dy-oxide, the importance of controlling Dy-oxide on Dy extraction is confirmed.

Pyroprocessing에 의한 사용후핵연료 처리 과정에서 방사성 희토류 염화물이 포함된 폐용융염이 발생된다. 이러한 폐 용융염 내에 존재하는 방사성 희토류 염화물을 산화물로 침전시켜 회수함으로서 용융염을 재생할 수 있다. 최종적으로 발생되는 방사성 희토류 산화물의 저장과 처분에 적합한 monolithic 고화체를 제조하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 고상 소결에 의해 붕규산 유리에 의한 고화체 제조, 희토류 산화물을 모나자이트로 합성한 후 붕규산 유리에 의한 고화체 제조를 수행하였다. 또한 zinc titanate 세라믹이 주요성분인 고화 매질(ZIT)을 개발하여 고화체를 제조하였으며 각각의 고화체에 대한 침출 및 물리화학적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 고상 소결에 의해 제조된 ZIT 매질 고화체는 내 침출성이 크며 밀도가 크고 열전도도가 우수한 특성을 나타내었다.

In this study, we have investigated new plasma resistant materials with less usage of rare-earth oxides than $Y_2O_3$ which is currently used in the semiconductor industry. We observed the stability ranges of $(Gd{\cdot}Y)_3Al_5O_{12}$ and $(La{\cdot}Y)Al_{11}O_{18}$ ternary systems, and measured their etch rates under typical fluorine plasma. $(Gd{\cdot}Y)_3Al_5O_{12}$ system showed an extensive solid solution up to 80 mol% gadolinium, but $(La{\cdot}Y)Al_{11}O_{18}$ showed a negligible substitution between rare-earth ions, which can be explained by the differences between the ionic radii. The etch rates depended on the total amount of rare-earth oxides but not on the substitution of the rare-earth ions. When the specimen was examined using XPS after the exposure to fluorine plasma, the strong surface fluorination was observed with a shift of the binding energy to higher energy.
