A kind of method of producing Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous, particularly a kind of method that adopts bischofite to prepare Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous adopts the directly electrolysis magnesium chloride system MAGNESIUM METAL use of Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous of present method preparation.
Background technology
MAGNESIUM METAL is of many uses in modern industry.Traditional industry system magnesium technology is that the double salt (potassium carnallitite or ammonium carnallitite) with magnesite, rhombspar or magnesium chloride is that raw material dewaters to obtain Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.
By product---bischofite in the Repone K production process of salt lake, super quality and competitive price are desirable feedstock of electrolytic magnesium.Bischofite can be deviate from wherein 4 parts of water by traditional heater means, forms MgCl
22H
2O, and magnesium chloride dihydrate can't continue to deviate from wherein water with hot method, because of under the situation of being heated, MgCl
22H
2Serious hydrolysis reaction also takes place in O except that dewatering, generate magnesium oxide and emit hydrogen chloride gas, can't satisfy the requirement of electrolytic magnesium production to content of magnesia in the Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.So, adopt conventional heating means can't obtain to satisfy the Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous of electrolytic magnesium requirement.
Another kind of method of producing Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous is a thermal dehydration under hydrogenchloride atmosphere, obtains being used for the Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous that electrolytic process generates MAGNESIUM METAL thereby this method is based on the hydrolysis that can suppress the hydrated form magnesium chloride under the hydrogenchloride atmosphere.The basic procedure of this method is that the magnesium chloride mother liquor after purifying is concentrated into MgCl
2>45% solution carries out mist projection granulating, takes off into MgCl under 100-200 ℃ of hot gas flow
22H
2O dewaters to containing MgCl under 620-650 ℃ of HCl atmosphere again
2>95%, the Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous of MgO<0.5%.Because MgCl
2Facile hydrolysis often contains some impurity such as MgO in the resultant, MgOHCl etc. are so dehydrate is handled through the fusion carburizing chlorination again.Rare HCl recycles in the recovery tail gas.This method corrosion is more serious, and section H Cl G﹠W vapour condenses in MgCl
2In the product, all there are many problems in the storage of simultaneously a large amount of hydrogen chloride gas and use.
Another kind of method of producing Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous is the double salt method, adopts ammonium chloride and bischofite to form the ammonium carnallitite, and the ammonium carnallitite is through dewatering, taking off ammonium and obtain Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.This method is performed such: with NH
4In the water-soluble chloromagnesite aqueous solution of Cl, utilize NH
4Cl-MgCl
2-H
2O ternary system solubleness is synthesized ammonium carnallitite NH
4ClMgCl
26H
2O dewaters, takes off ammonium to the ammonium carnallitite again.This method can suppress the magnesium chloride hydrolysis, produces to be bordering on anhydrous magnesium chloride.But at NH
4The capture of Cl dust, equipment corrosion, free " NH
3" recovery, improve NH
4It is perfect that aspects such as Cl yield have a large amount of problems to need.
The another kind of method that is prepared Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous by hydrated magnesium chloride is an ammoniation process, and its basic thought is that hydrated magnesium chloride is changed into magnesium chloride hex-ammoniate, and magnesium chloride hex-ammoniate pyrolysis deamination is produced Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.
Prepare in the research of Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous at ammonia process, mainly divide two kinds:
(1) be reaction medium with water, patent US.3092450 and US.4228144 are described in detail this method: in containing the aqueous solution of ammonia, add the hydration solution of magnesium chloride and ammonium chloride, react generation MgCl down at low temperature (as-50~0 ℃)
26NH
3Precipitation, deamination makes Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous after methanol wash.The main drawback of this method has: (1) reaction conversion ratio is low, and (2) temperature is low, the energy consumption height, and (3) ammonia consumption is big.
(2) be reaction medium with the organic solvent, the basic step of this method comprises: (1) hydrated magnesium chloride and organic solvent form magnesium chloride organic solution; (2) magnesium chloride organic solution dehydration, the organic solution of formation Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous; (3) form the magnesium chloride complex precipitate by anhydrous organic solution and precipitation agent reaction; (4) complex-precipitation of heating magnesium chloride prepares Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous, and the recovery of organic solvent and precipitation agent is used.
After proposing this method from nineteen forty-two US2381995, constantly there is patent documentation to make improvements.Improved technology mainly concentrates on choosing of organic solvent.
U.S. Patent No. 2,381,995 with ethylene glycol and the MgCl that contains 30-35%
2Mix with other halide solution, vacuum distilling is removed portion water and is just obtained anhydrous MgCl

3Precipitation.With methanol wash precipitation, slough methyl alcohol and 400 ℃ 70-80 ℃ of heating and take off NH
3, product MgCl
2: 99.5%.In addition, U.S. Patent No. 3,352,634 adopt the magnesium chloride of partial dehydration to be decomposed in the alcohol of a kind of 4-10 of containing carbon atom, and solution produces the magnesium chloride solution that parches through azeotropic drying in alcohol, produce MgCl through ammonia treatment then
26NH
3Precipitation.This method need be washed the amide precipitation by the low-boiling point alcohol as methyl alcohol, decomposes generation impurity to reduce high-boiling point alcohol.And the high-dissolvability of ammino compound causes MgCl in high-boiling point alcohol
26NH
3Low deposition rate.
About adopting ethylene glycol is that the patent of solvent is more, and patent CN 1135743A has detailed narration to this.
Patent US5514359 improves aforesaid method, provides a kind of and has directly generated MgCl from organic hydrated magnesium chloride solution ammonification
26NH
3Sedimentary method, select for use with methyl alcohol is the low-boiling point alcohol of representative, be reflected under 10~60 ℃ and carry out, this invention was increasing aspect the utilization ratio of precipitation, solvent and the ammonia of magnesium chloride more in the past, but defective such as the technology that this patent provides still exists that deposition rate has much room for improvement, ammonia and organic solvent demand are still bigger.
Summary of the invention
Defectives such as the technical issues that need to address of the present invention provide a kind ofly produces electrolysis with the method for Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous from magnesium chloride hexahydrate (bischofite), and the deposition rate that prior art exists is not high enough to remedy, ammonia and organic solvent demand are still bigger.
