Description

Production method of potassium chloride
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of extraction of potassium chloride, and particularly relates to a method for producing potassium chloride by using carnallite ore.
Background
Potassium chloride is an indispensable fertilizer for agricultural production, and is also an important ore in the industries of chemical engineering, metallurgy, medicine, food and the like. The ores for producing potassium chloride mainly comprise sylvite, carnallite and the like. The carnallite resources are rich, but the potassium content of the carnallite is generally lower than that of the potassium salt, the processing energy consumption is higher, and the proportion of the carnallite in the potassium chloride production is not large. Carnallite is largely classified into natural carnallite and salt lake carnallite according to the formation process of carnallite. The carnallite in salt lake is prepared by sun-curing for one year, and is easy to crush and dissolve. The natural carnallite, especially Laos carnallite, has been under the ground for over 6800 thousands of years, and the crushing and dissolving difficulties are about 10 times of those of salt lake carnallite. Most of carnallite ores utilized in the current production of potassium chloride are salt lake carnallite.
The existing process for producing potassium chloride by using carnallite raw ore generally comprises the steps of crushing, crystallizing, floating, then performing a brine washing process, and removing soil and insoluble impurities through brine washing to obtain the potassium chloride.
The existing method has the defects of low utilization rate of carnallite, large water consumption and low grade of prepared potassium chloride.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following embodiments.
The inventor finds that carnallite ore inevitably carries soil, soil particles are crystal nuclei after the soil enters a crystallization process, and the excessive crystal nuclei influence the production of potassium chloride crystal nuclei, thereby influencing the granularity of the potassium chloride. In the flotation process, in order to avoid the influence of soil particles on the positive flotation, a clay sludge inhibitor and the like are added to inhibit the adverse influence of soil on the flotation process, and even if the soil particles are mixed into the potassium chloride, the whiteness of the potassium chloride product is affected inevitably. Meanwhile, a large amount of water is needed for removing the inhibitor in the subsequent cleaning of the crude potassium chloride, and the washing process using a large amount of water not only consumes a large amount of water, but also causes dissolution of the potassium chloride to be lost, thereby resulting in low yield of the potassium chloride. The inventor improves the prior art through research, and desliming is carried out on crushed ore by using system mother liquor, so that the clay particles are prevented from entering crystallization and floatation processes, adverse effects of the clay particles on the two processes are avoided, whiteness can be improved, water consumption is reduced, and the yield of potassium chloride is improved.
As shown in FIG. 1, the method for producing potassium chloride provided by the invention comprises the following steps: crushing and desliming carnallite ore, and desliming the ore by using a saturated solution of magnesium chloride; and crystallizing, namely mixing the desliming ore, water and system mother liquor, and then feeding the mixture into a crystallizer for crystallization.
The term "system mother liquor" in this patent refers to the liquid discharged from the system, such as the liquid separated from the crude potassium band pass, the liquid separated from the tail salt band pass, and the historically retained liquid discharged from the system. The "system mother liquor" is a saturated solution of magnesium chloride.
Specifically, in the crushing and desliming step, ore is crushed and sieved first, and the undersize (the undersize may be selected to have an appropriate crushing particle size, for example, but not limited to, 20mm or less, 15mm or less, 10mm or less, 5mm or less, etc. as required) is washed, and the oversize is returned to the crushing process again to continue crushing. And (3) washing the crushed ore by adopting a system mother solution in the washing process.
The system mother liquor is adopted to desliming the crushed ore, so that the washing water consumption can be reduced, the tail liquid treatment capacity is reduced, and meanwhile, the ore can be prevented from being decomposed in the desliming stage, so that the dissolution is completed in the crystallizer at one time.
After washing, the ore is sieved, and the oversize (1 mm or more) is further crushed. Crushing is preferably a rod mill by which the ore is crushed into particles of less than 1mm to facilitate dissolution of the ore in the crystallizer. The undersize (less than or equal to 1 mm) flows into a solid-liquid separation device, the solid enters a crystallization unit, the liquid flows into a filtering device for filtering and desliming, and the liquid after mud cake removal is returned to the washing process for reuse. Since the underflow from each step will carry away a portion of the mother liquor, the wash process can be liquid replenished by the system mother liquor. The mass content of the solid in the washing process is 50-60%, so that the ore can be fully washed to the maximum extent.
In alternative embodiments, the crystallization step may comprise the reuse of fine grains in the overflow of the crystallizer. This embodiment is explained in detail with reference to fig. 2. As shown in fig. 2, the steps of crushing and desliming are the same as those of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and the detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
The undersize (less than or equal to 1 mm) after rod milling enters a crystallizer, the ore washed in the crystallizer is decomposed, and potassium chloride is separated out under the action of saturated solution of magnesium chloride. The precipitated potassium chloride grows up gradually and flows from the underflow into the flotation unit. The overflow of the crystallizer comprises fine crystals of not-grown and fine crystal grains, and the fine crystals enter the recrystallization device through underflow after solid-liquid separation. In the recrystallization device, fine crystals grow secondarily, and after reaching a preset size, the fine crystals enter a flotation unit from the bottom flow for flotation. Since the underflow contains a certain amount of mother liquor, after the crystallizer underflow and the recrystallization underflow are discharged, the liquid content in the crystallizer and the recrystallization are reduced, and the crystallizer and the recrystallization can be replenished with liquid by the system mother liquor.
In the crushing and desliming step, the washed undersize can enter a crystallizer after being filtered and thickened, also enter a recrystallization device, also can enter a crystallizer partially, and can enter the recrystallization device partially, and can be determined according to actual operation conditions. The fine grains are reused in the recrystallization device, so that the yield of the potassium chloride can be improved.
The invention washes ore and supplements liquid for crystallizer and recrystalliser by system mother liquid, which can fully utilize system mother liquid and avoid the 'explosion crystal' generated by supplementing fresh water in crystallization process, thereby affecting the crystal nucleus growth and the production efficiency of potassium chloride. The process of 'bursting crystal' refers to that fresh water is added to separate the crystal into more fine crystal grains, so that the number of crystal nuclei is rapidly increased, and further growth of the crystal nuclei is not facilitated.
The liquid separated by the solid-liquid separation device contains finer potassium chloride, and after the liquid enters the fine-grain tank, fresh water is added to dissolve potassium chloride crystals in the liquid to form unsaturated solution of potassium chloride, and the solution enters the crystallizer to dissolve crushed ore entering the crystallizer. The mass ratio of the crushed ore to the saturated solution of water and magnesium chloride in the crystallizer is 1:0.2-0.35:4-6.5. Preferably 1:0.25 to 0.35:4 to 6.
In an alternative embodiment, the saturated solution of magnesium chloride may be the system mother liquor.
In an alternative embodiment, the potassium chloride grain size in the crystallizer and recrystallization underflow is greater than 0.15mm over 70%.
In an alternative embodiment, the carnallite ore may be an ore such as laos carnallite ore.
The invention is further described below by means of specific examples. These examples are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
