Description

Process for decomposition of aqueous ammonium chloride solution and process for production of sodium carbonate
The present invention relates to the decomposition method that a kind of purpose is to produce the aqueous ammonium chloride solution of ammonia.
Ammonia one alkaline process (also claiming solvay process) is to produce the most widely used a kind of commercial run of yellow soda ash (TE PANGHOU, the manufacturing of soda, the dedicated reference document of attached ammonia process, 1969, Hafner publishing company now; Zoran RANT, Die Erzougung Von Soda nach den Solvay-verfahren(The production of sodium carbonate by the Solvay proeess), 1968, Ferdinand Enke Verlag, Stuttgart).In this currently known methods, ammonia is dissolved in the aqueous solution of sodium-chlor, is handled with carbonated gas behind the generation ammoniacal brine, so that sodium bicarbonate crystallization thus.The sodium bicarbonate aqueous suspension that produces is filtered, in order that mixture is divided into solid carbonic acid chlorine sodium filter cake and mother liquor.Mother liquid obtained ammonia derivative, especially ammonium hydroxide and the ammonium chloride of containing.In order to obtain ammonia, it must be handled to decompose these derivatives subsequently, the ammonia that obtains is recycled to technological process.The decomposition of mother liquor ammonium chloride adopts milk of lime process normally effective.Milk of lime is made by unslaked lime, and unslaked lime to be Wingdale calcine in the limestone kiln that the back produces.The lime that the calcined limestone method is obtained is generally various impurity and stains, and these impurity are mainly derived from Wingdale, is used for the coke in limestone kiln and the refractory liner of kiln.Silicon-dioxide is the undesirable impurity of a kind of Wingdale.Really at least wherein some have been found, with Calucium Silicate powder CaOSiO 2, 2CaOSiO 2And 3CaOSiO 2Form is in combined with lime.
Because the Calucium Silicate powder that contains in the excessive hydrogen calcium oxide solution is reactive for the ammonium chloride right and wrong, so they will cause the decline of milk of lime utilising efficiency, thereby has also reduced the utilising efficiency of Wingdale.
The present invention overcomes this shortcoming by a kind of method is provided, and this method is that decomposing ammonium chloride improves the milk of lime utilising efficiency that contains Calucium Silicate powder.
Therefore, the present invention is relevant a kind of by means of containing silicic acid dicalcium (2CaOSiO 2) the milk of lime method of decomposing the ammonium chlorate aqueous solution; According to the present invention, described solution is handled continuously, and the milk of lime quantity not sufficient of using in the first step to be decomposing the necessary stoichiometry of whole ammonium chlorides, and uses remaining milk of lime in second step.
According to the inventive method, the source of aqueous ammonium chloride solution is not strict, normally above-mentioned ammonia process sodium bicarbonate crystalline mother liquor.
Obtain milk of lime by water hydration unslaked lime, unslaked lime is produced by the silica containing Wingdale of calcining, and general silicon-dioxide is greater than 1%(by weight), for example between 2-8%, silicon-dioxide is with combined Calucium Silicate powder CaOSiO 2, 2CaOSiO 2, 3CaOSiO 2Form exists.
According to the present invention, the processing of aqueous ammonium chloride solution is carried out in two steps continuously with milk of lime.The first step, milk of lime consumption are not enough to whole ammonium chlorides and decompose required accurate amount.Though the inventor does not wish to accept the constraint that opinion is explained, however they think in the time-continuing process of this method the first step, at acidic medium mesosilicic acid dicalcium by reaction
Decompose, the lime that discharges reacts with ammonium chloride immediately, by reaction
In second step, adding remaining milk of lime is that the still undecomposed ammonium chloride of the first step decomposes essential amount.
In the method for the invention, it is enough high that the deficiency of the first step milk of lime is wanted, so that obtain the enough acidity of reaction medium, Dicalcium Phosphate (Feed Grade) decomposed.For example, in the first step of method, spendable milk of lime amount is for decomposing the 30-70% of the required accurate weight of whole ammonium chlorides.Measure the pH of reaction medium, suitable this method of control of energy respectively goes on foot the respective amount of used milk of lime.
In a useful embodiment of the inventive method, milk of lime is divided into two kinds of big or small fractions, a coarse grain fraction, and a particulate fraction, the coarse grain fraction is used for the first step, and the particulate fraction was used for for second step.Improve milk of lime utilising efficiency even more remarkable by this embodiment of the invention.Determine to observe if all other conditions are identical, the Dicalcium Phosphate (Feed Grade) strong tendency in the milk of lime accumulates in the coarse grain fraction.In this embodiment of the inventive method, coarse fraction divides corresponding to mostly be most 125 μ m(such as 20-44 μ m by mesh size) fraction kept here of sieve, and fine fraction divides corresponding to the fraction by described sieve, and it is favourable controlling its separation in such a way by size.
The inventive method is applicable to decomposes contained ammonium chloride in the residual mother liquor, and described mother liquor is from the crystallization of above-mentioned ammonia process sodium bicarbonate.
Therefore, the production method of the also relevant a kind of yellow soda ash of the present invention, when using this method, the carbonated gas processing of ammoniacal brine, so that generate the aq suspension of sodium bicarbonate, treated aq suspension is divided into the solid sodium bicarbonate that is contained in wherein and contains the mother liquor of ammonium chloride, in order to generate yellow soda ash, sodium bicarbonate will pass through calcining, and mother liquor is handled so that decomposing ammonium chloride with milk of lime; According to present method, use the milk of lime that contains the silicic acid dicalcium, mother liquor divides two consecutive steps (as mentioned above) to be handled with milk of lime.
According to following explanation to the single numeral of accompanying drawing, feature of the present invention and details are more obvious, show that the synoptic diagram of the inventive method specific embodiment is suitable for ammonia process production yellow soda ash.
Umerical device in the synoptic diagram comprises ammonia absorption chamber 1, and then is carbonization chamber 2.Absorption chamber 1 is the post that adds the concentrated sodium chloride aqueous solution 3 and ammonia 4.Ammoniacal brine 5 is flowed out by chamber 1, enters carbonization chamber 2.Wherein, ammoniacal brine and carbonated gas 6 upstream recycle back.In chamber 2, ammoniacal brine is gradually by the hydrogen-carbonate salinization, and sodium bicarbonate aq suspension 7 is discharged thus, and aqueous sodium bicarbonate suspension input filter 8 is so that separate its contained solid sodium bicarbonate and mother liquor 9.Sodium bicarbonate 26 on the de-entrainment filter is transported to calcining kiln (not marking), obtains yellow soda ash after the thermolysis there.
Mother liquor 9 contains ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride, and recovery is rational.For reaching this purpose, mother liquor is delivered to distillation column 10, at the bottom of post, add vapour stream 11.In distillation column 10, the ammonium hydroxide decomposition obtains ammonia 12(at capital) and aqueous ammonium chloride solution 13.
