From salt lake sediment, extract the method for borax decahydrate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of inorganic salt, particularly, the present invention relates to from salt lake sediment, extract the method for borax.
Background technology
Borax is a clear crystal, is the most important compound of boron.It is of many uses, can be used as the filler of washing powder and soap, also is the raw material of making opticglass, enamel and enamel, also can make artificial gems, welding agent etc., can cook heat-clearing and detoxicating drug after refining exquisiteness, cool in nature, sweet-salty can be controlled diseases such as swelling and pain in the throat, noma, aphtha, the living ocular of order.Borax also is commonly used for the metal-derusting agent, and on agricultural, borax also can serve as boron fertilizer.
Boron often is listed in rare elements abroad.Yet in China abundant native borax is arranged but, as be located in the salt lake sediment on ground such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai and just contain competent native borax.Main component is urao [Na

From the above: the crystallization concentration height of nitre, alkali, temperature is low, and borax needs could to be crystallized out under lower concentration and high-temperature.
The method of domestic production borax is mainly sulfuric acid process, carbonatation process, the interpretation of the law of pressurization alkali etc. at present, and all adopting with boron magnesium ore deposit is raw material, need add other industrial chemicals simultaneously to make auxiliary material, its technical sophistication, various being not easy of technical process grasped, and causes production cost to increase thus, and energy consumption is also big.In addition, far away because generally all remote mountain area, mining area, also there is the transportation cost height in ground factory process in raw materials for production are transported to from the mining area, the big and problems such as environmental pollution brought of expense.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is intended to overcome the defective of prior art, and a kind of method of extracting borax from salt lake sediment is provided.This method Technology is simple, does not need to add industrial chemicals, and production cost is low, environmentally safe, and energy consumption is low, output value height.
The technical solution used in the present invention is as follows:
A kind of method of extracting borax from salt lake sediment is characterized in that processing step is as follows:
A, raw material crushing: it is the particle of 0.8~1.2cm that the salt lake sediment crushing raw ore is become particle diameter;
B, dissolving: the raw material after the fragmentation is poured in the container, be incorporated as the water of 2~3 times of weight of raw material, mixing is heated to mixed solution 70~80 ℃ again, and raw material dissolves the back fully and continued constant temperature 15~25 minutes;
C, dilution cooling: in the mixed solution behind constant temperature, be incorporated as the water of 3~4 times of raw material weights again, and the temperature of mixture dropped to 40~50 ℃, constant temperature 3.5~4.5 hours;
D, crystallization: the saturated solution of container internal upper part is put in another container, and when evaporating and cooling to 10~37 ℃, i.e. the product borax decahydrate is separated out in crystallization.
The products obtained therefrom borax decahydrate can obtain anhydrous sodium tetraborate after thermal dehydration is handled.
The invention has the advantages that:
1, the present invention only need not add any industrial chemicals with water as auxiliary material, and production cost is low, environmentally safe.
2, Technology of the present invention is simple, can found the factory on the spot, has reduced transportation cost, and energy consumption is low, output value height.
3, the raw material of the present invention's employing is not for transporting the B that contains of value added
2O
3Be about 10% discarded ore deposit, saved limited resources effectively, turn waste into wealth.
4, the present invention has filled up a big blank of domestic system boron, has great economic benefit and social benefit.
