The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of calcium metaborate CaO.B by borax and lime2O3·nH2O (wherein, n is 2, 4 or 6) and byproducts are comprehensively utilized.
Calcium metaborate does not occur in nature. The results of the previous study show that: "the complexity of synthesizing calcium metaborate is that it must be formed at a pH above 11; at such high pH, however, excess calcium is precipitated as calcium hydroxide, which generally reduces the purity of the calcium metaborate crystals. "therefore, the method of laboratory synthesis recommended in the literature is that of B2O3/Na2O-0.93-0.50 (i.e. a mixture of borax and sodium hydroxide) solution to precipitate calcium chloride solution, and the former must be in large excess (three times) than calcium chloride.
The industrial method for directly preparing calcium metaborate from borax is only a method for carrying out double decomposition reaction on borax, calcium salt and lime milk, wherein the calcium salt can be calcium chloride, calcium sulfate or calcium nitrate, and can also be a mixture of calcium oxide and corresponding acid. The proportion of the raw materials is strictly controlled, and the industrially applicable calcium metaborate can be prepared. The common disadvantage of these processes is that in order to obtain the desired product, the mother liquor contains a certain amount of borate in addition to sodium salt, and both salts are difficult to separate completely, which limits the application field and market price of the recovered sodium salt, and reduces the economic benefit of production.
The invention relates to a method for preparing calcium metaborate CaO&B from borax and lime2O3·nH2The technological process of O (where n is 2, 4 or 6) is that the raw materials of borax and lime (lime powder, slaked lime powder or lime milk) are directly mixed according to their mole ratio Na2B4O7·10H2Carrying out calcification reaction with the ratio of O to CaO being 1: 0.8-1.1, the pH value being more than or equal to 11, the temperature being lower than 45 ℃, the liquid-solid ratio being 2-8: 1, reacting for 3-16 hours under stirring, and filtering and drying the product to obtain a dihydrate or tetrahydrate product of calcium metaborate; evaporating the filtrate and carbonic acidMelting, cooling, crystallizing and centrifugally separating to recover borax; the mother liquor containing a large amount of sodium carbonate and disodium tetraborate and the washing water are used as raw materials for preparing borax from the ascharite, thereby realizing the full and effective comprehensive utilization of sodium and boron.
The invention is characterized by being realized according to the following reactions:
reacting with NaBO2To keep the pH value of the medium to be more than or equal to 11 under the alkaline condition and remove sodium brought by borax to obtain a byproduct NaBO2Subjecting the aqueous solution to a carbonation reaction:
converted to Na2B4O7Cooling with Na2B4O7·10H2The O form crystallizes out. After centrifugal separation, returning borax to prepare calcium metaborate; the mother liquor contains a large amount of Na2CO3And a small amount of Na2B4O7Sent to a workshop for manufacturing borax by taking ascharite as a raw material to be used as the raw material.
