Preparation method of anhydrous sodium sulphate based on salt lake ore and lithium polymer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of anhydrous sodium sulphate preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of anhydrous sodium sulphate based on salt lake ores and lithium polymers.
Background
Glauber salt refers to sodium sulfate, also called mirabilite. Sodium sulfate, an inorganic compound, sodium sulfate decahydrate, also known as mirabilite, and a high-purity, finely-grained anhydrate called glauber salt. The anhydrous sodium sulphate is mainly used for manufacturing water glass, porcelain glaze, paper pulp, refrigerating mixing agent, detergent, drying agent, dye diluent, analytical chemical reagent, medicinal products, feed and the like. The main methods for producing anhydrous sodium sulphate at present are a beach field method, a mechanical freezing method, a salt lake comprehensive utilization method and the like.
The beach field method is to evaporate water from the material liquid by means of the temperature change in different seasons to crystallize out coarse mirabilite. In summer, the salt water containing sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, magnesium chloride, etc. is poured into beach field, and after sun-drying and evaporation, crude mirabilite is separated out in winter. The method is a main method for extracting mirabilite from natural resources, and has the advantages of simple process, low energy consumption, poor operation conditions and easy mixing of impurities such as sand and the like in the product.
The mechanical freezing method is to utilize mechanical equipment to heat and evaporate the raw material liquid and then freeze the raw material liquid to-5 to-10 ℃ to separate out mirabilite. Compared with the beach field method, the method is not affected by seasons and natural conditions. The product quality is good, but the energy consumption is high.
The comprehensive utilization method of the salt lake is mainly used for sulfate-carbonate type salt water containing various components. The crude mirabilite is separated while extracting various useful components. For example, salt lake water containing sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, boride, potassium, bromine and lithium can be processed by firstly carbonizing salt lake brine to convert sodium carbonate into sodium bicarbonate to be crystallized; cooling the mother liquor to 5-15 ℃ to crystallize borax; and (4) freezing the secondary mother liquor after borax separation to 0-5 ℃, and separating out mirabilite.
Therefore, how to prepare anhydrous sodium sulphate with less impurities, high quality and low cost is a problem to be solved in the field.
