Description

Method for preparing potassium nitrate by nitric acid method
The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to the field of production of inorganic chemical products, mainly relates to an inorganic salt, and particularly relates to a method for preparing potassium nitrate by a nitric acid method.
Background art:
potassium nitrate and magnesium chloride are one of the important chemical raw materials, and potassium nitrate is widely applied to various fields of national defense and military industry such as black powder, industry, agriculture, food additives, medicines, feed additives, optical glass, electronic industry and the like. The fertilizer grade potassium nitrate used in agriculture is a high-quality potassium-nitrogen binary compound fertilizer. At present, domestic methods for producing potassium nitrate mainly comprise a double decomposition method and an ion exchange method.
The existing double decomposition method usually adopts double decomposition of ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride to prepare potassium nitrate and produce ammonium chloride as a byproduct, but the method has higher requirements on production equipment, mainly because the method has serious corrosion on the equipment in the production process, the operation difficulty in the operation process of the equipment is higher, and the prepared potassium nitrate product has lower purity, high purification operation cost and high energy consumption. The method adopts an ion exchange method to prepare a product by carrying out ion exchange reaction on ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride and produces ammonium chloride as a byproduct, wherein one of the used raw materials is ammonium nitrate, the use and purchase range of the ammonium nitrate is limited, namely the raw material source is controlled by the state, so the price is relatively high, the production cost is increased invisibly, and secondly, the equipment for ion exchange is huge, the corresponding equipment investment is larger, the yield of a primary finished product of potassium nitrate is lower, the subsequent treatment cost is high, and the mixed acid formed by the nitric acid and the hydrochloric acid generated in the production process has great influence on the equipment, so the equipment cannot be well recovered and the environment is easily polluted.
For example, the method for producing potassium nitrate by using dilute nitric acid disclosed in Chinese patent publication No. CN1064063A, comprises the steps of carrying out a chemical reaction between 35-40% dilute nitric acid and potassium chloride at a high temperature of 70-105 ℃ and a negative pressure of 300-400mm Hg to generate potassium nitrate, cooling, crystallizing, drying and the like. Also, chinese patent publication No. CN101070167A, a potassium nitrate preparation process, includes reacting potassium chloride with dilute nitric acid to produce potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, and a mixture of dilute nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, then distilling to remove a large amount of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, heating and concentrating to make the mixed solution become a saturated solution, adding sodium carbonate to adjust the solution to neutrality, simultaneously adding a small amount of hydrochloric acid to react to produce sodium chloride, and finally separating potassium nitrate by using the difference of the solubilities of potassium nitrate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride at the same temperature.
As another example, chinese patent publication No. CN107651697A, discloses a method for preparing potassium nitrate, which specifically comprises adding solid potassium chloride into 55-68% by mass of nitric acid, stirring for 10-20 minutes, adding an extractant at 4-10 ℃, standing for 25-40 minutes, and separating an oil phase from a water phase; the obtained aqueous phase was centrifuged to obtain a solid as coarse potassium nitrate crystals, which were washed and dried to obtain potassium nitrate.
Chinese publication No. CN103771461A, a method for preparing potassium nitrate by double decomposition, which comprises using ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride as raw materials, recycling mother liquor, because the potassium chloride as the raw material brings impurities such as sodium chloride, magnesium chloride and the like, and the accumulation and treatment problems of the impurities in the mother liquor in long-term circulation are not solved, the invention is characterized in that a shunting impurity removal production line is arranged close to a production device, a sodium removal unit and a magnesium removal unit are arranged on the production line, the two units can run simultaneously or independently, 1-30% of the total circulation amount of the mother liquor is introduced into the production line for impurity removal treatment, the main components of the impurities are water-soluble sodium salt and magnesium salt, removing part of sodium salt by using magnesium chloride as a salting-out agent, removing part of magnesium salt by using ammonium bicarbonate as a precipitating agent, wherein the temperature of the solution is 10-90 ℃, and returning the mother solution after impurity removal treatment to a mother solution circulating system.
It can be seen from the above-mentioned technical solutions that the existing potassium nitrate preparation method still uses the double decomposition method and/or ion exchange resin method, some of them also need to add extractant or complexing agent, etc. in the course of preparation, and in the course of chemical reaction, every addition of a substance can correspondingly increase the cost of its subsequent treatment, at the same time, it still has the problems of low yield of primary product, high production cost and large equipment investment, and the produced dilute nitric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid can cause a certain pollution to environment. The separation of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid is difficult.
Therefore, how to provide a method for preparing potassium nitrate, the prepared potassium nitrate has high purity, low preparation cost, convenient separation operation, small equipment investment, less influence on the environment, simple preparation process and realization of the recycling of filtrate resources.
