I. Background Technology:
Chinese Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi have ample salt lake resources, deposited with a good deal of bloedite. However, there is little domestic research regarding comprehensive utilization of bloedite for the time being. Some units proposed the process of purifying sodium sulfate with alkaline process, but magnesium hydroxide is hard to be separated during the process, therefore, industrialization has not been realized yet. Other units adopt high and low temperature crystallization process to achieve magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, but energy consumption is high during the process, magnesium sulfate additional value is low, so it is very difficult for investors to obtain economic benefits. In a word, in the aspect of comprehensive utilization of bloedite, China is still in the starting stage.
II. This Process Features:
Take bloedite or sodium sulfate -bloedite complex ore as raw material, and sodium hydroxide or ammonia as precipitant, precipitate the magnesium in it, prepare electronic grade, oil grade and flame-retardant grade high-purity magnesium hydroxide; use special separation process to extract the sodium sulfate and prepare sodium sulfate product in conformity with industrial standard. Yield level: sodium sulfate 97%; magnesium 86%. Environmental protection: no three wastes discharge.
