Description

PROCESS FOR EXTRACTING CALCIUM HYDROXIDE FROM ADMIXTURES WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES The present invention relates to a novel process for the extraction of calcium hydroxide from heavily and similar and for the conversion of the into comparatively pure and useful products of More this novel process relates to a process making it possible to utilize limestone deposits heavily contaminated with to convert the heavily contaminated lime into relatively pure utilizing comparatively small quantities of liquid and Comparatively resulting in substantial savings of water and substantially reduced rates as compared with conventional processes the production of such products from impure According to the present the calcium source as calcined dolomite or the is and extracted preferably in number o wit an aqueous solution containing appreciable amounts of calcium the resulting aqueous solution containing the dissolved calcium hydroxide is part of the calcium ion contained therein is converted into the desired and residual calcium chloride is returned in order to effect a further stage of the extraction of the starting the extractions being repeated several times until substantially the entire quantity of calcium hydroxide contained therein is It is well known that calcined lime is a very useful There exist abundant deposits of but the usual natural material is generally impure and the impurities often make it difficult even uneconomical to utilise natural limestone sources when a pure product is The solubility of milk of lime in water is rather and therefore the purification by extraction of the material with water requires quite substantial quantities of water and energy for pumping and for other steps of the These drawbacks are overcome by the present and it is made possible utilize natural deposits and other severely contaminated sources of calcium in order to recover the the form of quite pure products in an economical In the process according to the present invention there is utilized the increased solubility of calcium hydroxide in aqueous solutions of calcium as compared with the solubility of calcium hydroxide of in pure This increased solubility is contrary to what might be expected from the common ion Whereas calcium hydroxide has only a solubility of about 1 gr per liter in water at ambient its solubility in aqueous solutions of calcium chloride increases with an increased content of calcium and reaches a maximum of about 5 gr calcium hydroxide per liter of aqueous solution containing 450 gr calcium chloride per According to the calcium hydroxide is extracted from sources containing same in admixture with other substances by means of an aqueous containing from about 100 to 450 calcium Generally only a fraction of the calcium hydroxide content of the source is extracted at each solution of lime in the calcium chloride isseparated and reacted with a suitable compound to which obtain the desired product most cases ia insoluble in the chloride is separated from this solution can be for further extraction As compared with water as extraction there are obtained substantially reduced flow less voluminous equipment and a substantially decreased power consumption for The process to the present invention is of special value for the production of products as hydroxide and high grade as will be set out in detail According to yet another feature of the present there may be used as extraction medium chloride in combination with a compound or a mixture of compounds which weakly bind calcium and wliich substantially increase the solubility of calcium such compounds there may be mentioned such as phenol and the The soluble o compounds are subsequently decomposed during the production of the desired compound and may thus be to be used in further stages of the The invention will be illustrated by waybof example only with reference to the following which are to be construed in a limitative 1 Calcined phosphate rock containing about 40 by weight calcium the rest being was ground to mesh and slaked in 100 gr of the thus was introduced into 4 liters of 200 calcium chloride stirred vigorously for 15 allowed to settle during minutes and after this 2 of the supernatant solution was drawn A quantity of gr calcium To this 33 of 170 magnesium chloride solution was Λ fine precipitate magnesium hydroxide was for 1 minutes and allowed to The precipitate was washed and The solution was returned for further cycle of After the tenth such cycle the calcium hydroxide content of the starting material was and the first was found to contain about 60 gr of consisting mainly of enriched with very little free The combined magnesium hydroxide precipitates weighed 35 gr and consisted of magnesium hydroxide of a purity better than 95 per Both products are materials of commercial The calcium chloride solution can be used for extracting further batches of Example Dolomite gravel containing about 5 per cent by weight alumina and iron oxide was crushed to 1 3 calcined at and 100 gr of the calcined product were introduced into a beaker taining aqueous calcium chloride solution of 200 After stirring for 1 minutes and settling during 30 2 were drawn off and these contained 2 gr calcium hydroxide per This tion was reacted with magnesium chloride as in Example similar j After effecting repeatedly the extraction the leaching was stopped when nearly all the calcium hydroxide had been In one beaker a residue of magnesium hydroxide with all the impurities remained in the other a total of of a purity better than was Example An extraction was carried out as in Example with identical After each extraction the solution of calcium hydroxide in calcium chloride was reacted with a clear solution obtained by dissolving phosphate rock in hydrochloric acid in and producing a precipitate of about In the residue after the dissolution of the phosphate rock in HCl there remained the organic The extraction step was repeated until the lime value of the starting material was A nearly quantitative yield of was the calcium chloride can be used Example The process of 1 but the extraction medium in addition the calcium also 20 of The solubilit of calcium hydroxide 8 of this and thus only three extraction steps were The extract containing the calcium phenolate reacts magnesium and at the the phenol is set free and the calcium chloride phenol mixture can be used again for further extraction The process according to the present invention be carried out by conventional means as used in the chemical It can be efected with a pair devices used for reacting solidliquid systems and for separating the solid there may be used a pair of thickeners or any other device where instead of the thickener there is used another device for the separation of solids from such as centrifuges or the the extract is reacted with a compound resulting in the production of the desired product and in the production of calcium chloride 6 circulated between the two devices and only an excess of the calcium chlor de solution wi be When such a pair of 1s in the first one there remains a residue of the unreacted solids and after substantial completion of the extraction of the calcium this generally comprises one of the vendible products such as enriched whereas In the second device there 1s obtained the other desi red such as substantially pure magnesium hydroxide or substantially pure Between the two devices 1s circulated a solution and 1n most cases this can be used there being necessary only adjustments of It 1s clear that certain additional agents such as lants can be as are well known in the It Is clear that the above Is by way of example only and that many variations can be resorted to without departing from the scope of the insufficientOCRQuality
