Description

Production method of food-grade potassium chloride
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of food additives, in particular to a production method of food-grade potassium chloride.
Background
The food-grade potassium chloride is a very popular product, has wide application in the food industry, can be used as a salt substitute, a nutritional supplement, a gelling aid, yeast foodstuff, a flavoring agent, a pH value control agent and the like, is one of high-end products which can be derived from the potassium fertilizer industry, and has great market development potential in the future food-grade potassium chloride industry.
At present, most of raw materials for producing food-grade potassium chloride at home and abroad are industrial-grade potassium chloride, and the production process basically adopts an evaporative crystallization process including dissolution, impurity removal, crystallization, filtration and drying. The process can produce products meeting the quality requirement, but has higher requirement on the quality of raw materials. Although China is a country with serious shortage of potassium resources, the production of food-grade potassium chloride can be completely self-sufficient only by using the current domestic capacity of potassium chloride in the Carer sweat lake. However, according to research, most of domestic food-grade potassium chloride manufacturers are far away and use imported potassium as a production raw material, but the reason is that most of potassium chloride produced in China is produced by a conventional flotation method, and potassium chloride products contain a large amount of impurities which cannot be removed by a simple physical method, and mainly comprise ammonium chloride, magnesium chloride, octadecylamine flotation reagent, dodecyl morpholine flotation reagent, calcium sulfate acid insoluble substances and other impurities. The contents of inorganic ammonium and organic amine are seriously exceeded, and organic amine has irritation to skin and mucosa and certain irritation to central nerve, which greatly limits the application of potassium chloride in the industries of medicine and food additives. Therefore, if the salt lake potassium fertilizer is used as a raw material to produce food-grade potassium chloride, the removal process research of inorganic ammonium and organic amine must be firstly carried out.
Several methods for removing ammonium from potassium chloride are disclosed in chinese patents. The organic nitrogen in the industrial potassium chloride, such as octadecylamine, dodecyl morpholine, 2# oil and the like, is removed by adopting methods of chemical separation, macroporous resin adsorption, nanofiltration membrane separation and the like respectively. The method can theoretically effectively remove ammonia nitrogen in industrial potassium chloride, but the removal process is complex and high in cost, and is not beneficial to industrialization. The inventor finds in experiments that directly by adopting the hot melting method, the solubility of the octadecylamine or the alkyl morpholine is increased along with the increase of the temperature, and organic matters are remained in a liquid phase and adsorbed on the surface of a potassium chloride crystal in the cooling crystallization process to be mixed into a product and are not easy to remove.
