Description

Method for preparing potassium sulfate from potassium chloride
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic chemical industry, and particularly relates to a method for preparing potassium sulfate from potassium chloride.
Background
The potassium sulfate is an important chemical raw material, is an agricultural potassium fertilizer with wide application, and is also an important raw material for preparing other potassium fertilizers. The main varieties of the potash fertilizer comprise potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium nitrate and the like, and because chlorine has certain harm to soil and partial crops, the potassium chloride cannot be directly applied under most conditions and needs to be converted into the potassium sulfate; potassium nitrate is expensive and dangerous chemical, and the application is greatly limited; the potassium sulfate is low in price, and the sulfur and the potassium are effective elements, so that the potassium sulfate is harmless to soil, and is particularly suitable for partial crops which are free from chlorine, and therefore, the market demand is huge.
At present, besides the direct preparation of potassium sulfate in a salt lake system, the domestic potassium sulfate preparation process mainly uses potassium chloride as a raw material to prepare the potassium sulfate by a certain conversion method, and the main method comprises the following steps: the Mannheim process, the sodium sulfate process, the ammonium sulfate process, and the associative process.
The Mannheim method is a mainstream method of the current potassium sulfate preparation process, the method takes sulfuric acid and potassium chloride as raw materials, the preparation of the potassium sulfate is realized through high-temperature double decomposition reaction, hydrogen chloride is a byproduct, the obtained potassium sulfate has high purity and good quality, but the equipment is seriously corroded, and the average service life of a Mannheim furnace is about 1 year.
A sodium sulfate method: the method is characterized in that sodium sulfate and potassium chloride are used as raw materials to prepare the glaserite through liquid-phase double decomposition reaction, and the glaserite reacts with the potassium chloride to obtain the potassium sulfate.
The ammonium sulfate method is divided into a fire method and a wet method: the pyrogenic process is characterized in that ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride are used as raw materials to form potassium sulfate and ammonium chloride through a high-temperature solid-phase double decomposition reaction, the ammonium chloride is decomposed and volatilized at high temperature and is separated from the potassium sulfate, the method is similar to the Mannheim process, equipment is seriously corroded, the cost is high, and no industrial application example exists at present; the wet method is to use ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride as raw materials, obtain ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate double salt through liquid-phase double decomposition reaction, and further wash the ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride to obtain potassium sulfate, for example, CN1093680A discloses a method for preparing potassium sulfate by converting ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride.
Association method: the method is carried out at normal temperature, has low energy consumption and large corrosion on equipment, but the cost of the extractant is high, and the subsequent problem of failure of a large amount of extractants in the production process causes the integral operation cost to be increased, the product quality to be poor, and finally causes the production stop of a part of production lines.
In summary, the mannheim method is still the mainstream technology in the current methods for preparing potassium sulfate by using potassium chloride as a raw material, and no other effective technology exists. However, the Mannheim method has serious corrosion on equipment, high energy consumption, serious pollution, limited market absorption capacity of byproduct hydrochloric acid, and frequent production stoppage of most enterprises due to high stock of hydrochloric acid. Therefore, a novel technology for preparing potassium sulfate from potassium chloride is needed to supplement the technical deficiency of the current potassium sulfate market, solve the problems of the traditional Mannheim method and further promote the technical upgrading and sustainable development of the industry.
