At normal temperature, the water solution is neutral, and the pH value is about 7;1g potassium sulfate dissolved in 83mL of water, 4mL of boiling water, 75mL of glycerol, but not ethanol. Potassium sulfate is common in chemical products and raw materials, and is widely applied in various industrial fields such as agriculture, industry, medicine and the like. As a potassium content (in K) 2 Calculated as O) is about 50 percent, the sulfur content is about 18 percent, and the fertilizer is mainly applicable to the planting industry of various chlorine-avoiding crops.

The oil phase tank 2 is connected with the water inlet end of an oil phase circulating pump 11, and the water outlet end of the oil phase circulating pump 11 is connected with the bottom of the crystallizer 6. The upper part of the crystallizer 6 is connected with the buffer tank 4 through a pipeline, and the buffer tank 4 is connected with the phase separation tank 4 through a pipeline. The upper part of the phase separation tank 4 is connected with the oil phase tank 2 through a pipeline, and the bottom of the phase separation tank 5 is connected with the water phase tank 1 through a pipeline. The bottoms of the water phase tank 1 and the oil phase tank 2 are both provided with a heating device 9.
Wherein, the crystallizer is hopper-shaped, and the crystallizer hypomere includes the different mixed section of multistage diameter, and the diameter of crystallizer export is the twice of its diameter of import at least, and the diameter of phase separation groove export is the twice of its diameter of import at least, can accelerate the double-phase mixed degree of water oil like this, and then accelerate the crystallization process to crystallizer export and phase separation groove export size are great, are favorable to mixing solution's timely flow under the high velocity of flow. A guide cylinder is arranged in the phase separation groove 5, and a plurality of guide holes are formed in the cylinder body of the guide cylinder, so that the axial speed of fluid in the phase separation groove can be increased, and crystal suspension is avoided.
The whole crystallization system consists of two pipelines, wherein one pipeline is filled with saturated potassium sulfate mother liquor, and the other pipeline is filled with an extracting agent, and the saturated potassium sulfate mother liquor and the extracting agent are uniformly mixed and then enter a fluidized bed crystallizer together. Potassium chloride and concentrated sulfuric acid in certain proportion are added into saturated potassium sulfate crystallization mother liquor, and the saturated potassium sulfate crystallization mother liquor and fresh extracting agent are pumped into a circulating device by a peristaltic pump simultaneously, and are uniformly mixed by a circulating pump. By utilizing the difference of the distribution coefficients of substances in two mutually incompatible systems of water and oil, hydrogen ions in sulfuric acid and chloride ions in potassium chloride are combined into hydrogen chloride and continuously transferred from water phase to oil phase, and the extractant has very low selectivity to hydrogen sulfate ions and sulfate ions, so that the hydrogen chloride and the chloride ions are hardly extracted, thereby continuously increasing the concentration of potassium ions and sulfate ions in the water phase, and continuously precipitating fine potassium sulfate crystals when the set temperature is reached. The water phase and the oil phase are easy to separate after leaving the extraction section, and are mixed and extracted again by a complete flow mixing device until the pH value of the water phase is stable, and the generated potassium sulfate crystal is taken out and filtered.

On the other hand, the used extractant can be recycled by back extraction of the dilute ammonia water, and the ammonium chloride in the water phase after back extraction can be used for agricultural production, so that the economic benefit is more remarkable.
