A kind of method of producing high purity magnesium hydroxide by whisker selection method
One, technical field: the present invention relates to a kind of is raw material with water-soluble magnesium sulfate salt or chlorination magnesium salts, produces the method for high purity magnesium hydroxide; Belong to inorganic field of fine chemical.
Two, background technology: magnesium hydroxide is a kind of applied range, nontoxic, tasteless basic chemical industry raw material, and it can be applied in the fire retardant that is used as low cigarette, Halogen, environment-friendly type in the plastic cement; In coating, make filler; Be used as good stopping composition in the paper industry; It in chemical industry is synthetic the industrial chemicals of making other magnesium compounds; And medicine, in the foodstuffs industry.That magnesium hydroxide has is natural, two kinds of chemosynthesis.Natural magnesium hydroxide claims brucite again, and the foreign matter content height can only use as low-grade product, and general content is 70~93%.Thereby chemical method synthetic magnesium hydroxide, to the flame retardant area of high request, especially the field of synthetic field of chemical industry and Insulation Material use is more and more important.Chemical synthesis is produced the general content of magnesium hydroxide and can be controlled in 98%, as the magnesium hydroxide that makes greater than 98% chemical method, because the viscosity of magnesium hydroxide itself is strong, not easily separated, so purity height, be the cost height of the product of magnesium hydroxide>98%, and yield is low, this also is the difficult problem of the sector.
The production method of high purity magnesium hydroxide generally has following several:
(1) magnesium chloride-sodium hydroxide method claims bittern-soda processes again:
Chemical equation:
MgCl
2·6H
2O+2NaOH—Mg(OH)
2↓+2NaCl+6H
2O
This method is more original, and raw material is simple, but because magnesium chloride promptly contains multiple soluble impurity in the bittern, in addition, the magnesium hydroxide particle diameter of combination reaction is little, viscosity is big, filtration problem is difficult to solve, so be not suitable for producing highly purified magnesium hydroxide.
(2) bittern-continuous ammonia process:
Chemical equation:
MgCl
2·6H
2O+2NH
3·H
2O—Mg(OH)
2↓+2?NH
4Cl+6H
2O
This method is improving one's methods of method (1), used ammonia to replace sodium hydroxide, alkalescence a little less than, make to produce to be easy to control, make product viscosity controlled, but the cost height of ammonia in addition, must have ammonia recovery unit, facility investment is big, though the problem of filtration washing makes moderate progress, the production high purity, promptly the product of magnesium hydroxide>98% acquires a certain degree of difficulty.
(3) calcining MgCl
2H
2The O method:
Chemical equation
MgCl
2·6H
2O+O
2→MgO+HCl↑+H
2O↑
MgO+H
2O→Mg(OH)
2
Advantage:
The Mg (OH) that this method is produced
2The purity height saved filtration, separating process, and product cut size is evenly distributed;
Weak point:
Facility investment is too big, and energy consumption is big, and the byproduct HCl hydrochloric acid that produces in the production process has serious corrosion to equipment, and the material of equipment is had particular requirement, causes production cost high.
Three, summary of the invention:
1, goal of the invention: the invention provides a kind of method of producing high purity magnesium hydroxide by whisker selection method, its objective is in the method for solution production magnesium hydroxide in the past, the cost of investment height, product is difficult to be separated, washs, to the problem of aspects such as equipment requirements height existence.
2, technical scheme: the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
A kind of method of producing high purity magnesium hydroxide by whisker selection method: it is characterized in that: this method is carried out as follows:
(1), get magnesium sulfate solution or bittern is raw material, remove the insoluble impurities in the raw material;
(2), in common white steel or enamel reaction still, raw material and alkaline substance are reacted under hydrothermal condition, and the water temperature during reaction is 20~200 ℃, and pressure is 3~20kgf, dwell time is 0.5~6 hour, and the reaction back generates the fibrous crystals or the tabular crystal of intermediate magnesium salts; Alkaline substance is selected from any in sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or the aqua ammonia.
(3), the intermediate of gained after washing, temperature be 20~98 ℃ with 5~80rpm agitation condition under, with the alkaline substance reaction, remove SO
4 2-Or Cl
-Root promptly gets the high magnesium hydroxide of purity after washing.
The stirring velocity that raw material and alkaline substance generate intermediate is 80~120rpm.
In the entire reaction operating process, the water that uses is pure water.
The magnesium sulfate solution raw material choosing of using is with any aqueous solution in the sal epsom of 0~7 crystal water.
3, advantage and effect: by the enforcement of technical solution of the present invention, its objective is in the method for solution production magnesium hydroxide in the past, the cost of investment height, product is difficult to be separated, washs, the problem that aspects such as equipment requirements height exist.The invention provides a kind of novel method of producing high-purity magnesium hydroxide, make the purity height of the magnesium hydroxide that obtains, be easy to produce, convenient separation, washing.Adopt processing method of the present invention, can use common white steel or enamel reaction still, facility investment is little, through producd fibers shape or sheet magnesium salts crystal, it is very convenient that product separation is filtered, and drainability is strong, but repetitive scrubbing, in process of production, use pure water, avoided introducing new impurity, the product purity height, the yield height does not produce the product that is corrosive in the reaction, very suitable suitability for industrialized production.
