Description

Method for jointly preparing high-purity magnesium oxide and refined ammonium sulfate by using low-grade magnesite
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of non-metallic mineral processing, and particularly relates to a method for jointly preparing high-purity magnesium oxide and refined ammonium sulfate by using low-grade magnesite.
Background
The low-grade magnesite generally refers to magnesite (MgCO 3) with the content of magnesium oxide (MgO) lower than 43% purity standard, and China is a country with large reserves of low-grade magnesite. Due to the production cost and the production technology, a large amount of low-grade magnesite cannot be effectively utilized, and great resource waste is caused. The high-purity magnesia generally refers to magnesia materials with the purity of magnesia (MgO) being more than or equal to 98.5 percent, and comprises crystalline high-purity electrofused magnesia, single-crystal magnesia, high-purity (sintered) magnesia magnesite, amorphous light-burned magnesia and the like. The application is mainly amorphous high-purity light-burned magnesium oxide. The traditional amorphous high-purity light-burned magnesia mainly adopts the following production process and method:
it is produced with sea water or old brine as material and through soda process or ammonia process. The process is relatively mature, but the production pollution is large, the production cost is high, and the product harmful substances have large damage to the application of downstream products, such as impurities of chloride ions, boron and the like. The purity of the magnesium oxide is generally about 99.0 percent.
The magnesite is lightly burned and directly digested, magnesium oxide is converted into magnesium hydroxide, then carbon dioxide is introduced to obtain basic magnesium carbonate, and then the basic magnesium carbonate is calcined at high temperature to obtain a high-purity magnesium oxide finished product. The production process can avoid the generation of harmful substances such as chloride ions, boron impurities and the like, but the production cost is still overhigh, and the purity of the magnesium oxide product is between 99.0 and 99.5 percent.
The method comprises the steps of directly reacting (low-grade) magnesite or light burning powder with sulfuric acid to prepare magnesium sulfate, filtering or purifying the magnesium sulfate in a series, precipitating magnesium hydroxide by using sodium hydroxide or ammonia water, and calcining the magnesium hydroxide at high temperature to obtain a high-purity magnesium oxide finished product. The method is effective for separating iron and aluminum, but has poor effect on separating silicon and calcium impurities, and the purity of magnesium oxide is generally not more than 99%.
Application publication No. CN106745103A discloses a cyclic production process by ammonia distillation, which adopts light-burned magnesia powder to directly react with ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride or ammonium nitrate to prepare magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride or magnesium nitrate, then ammonia gas obtained by ammonia distillation is used to prepare ammonia water with a certain concentration, then the ammonia water is used to introduce the former magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride or magnesium nitrate, after magnesium hydroxide is precipitated, and after filtration and washing, high-temperature calcination is adopted to obtain a high-purity magnesia finished product, the ammonium salt and the ammonia water can be recycled, no loss is caused theoretically, and the cost can be greatly reduced; however, the method is actually operated under the published conditions of reduced pressure and water bath temperature of 70-95 ℃, the ammonia distillation time is long, the energy consumption is high, and the method is difficult to be applied to practical application.
Application publication No. CN101372402A discloses a method for preparing magnesium oxide by calcining ammonium salt and magnesium-containing ore, which comprises calcining ammonium salt and pulverized magnesium-containing ore such as magnesite, brucite or talc to obtain solid magnesium salt, ammonia gas and carbon dioxide, absorbing gas with water to obtain ammonium bicarbonate solution or ammonia water, dissolving the solid magnesium salt, filtering, reacting with the ammonium bicarbonate solution or ammonia water to obtain magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide and ammonium salt, filtering, and calcining magnesium carbonate to obtain high-purity magnesium oxide. Evaporating the ammonium salt solution to dryness to obtain solid ammonium salt for recycling. In each process cycle of the process, impurities can be separated only by dissolving solid magnesium salts obtained by roasting, then magnesium hydroxide is prepared in the solution, the ammonium salt solution is dried by distillation to be used for roasting, the water consumption and the energy consumption are high, and the final production cost is high.
Application publication No. CN103232047A discloses a preparation method of low-energy-consumption magnesium oxide, which is characterized in that ammonium salt is used for leaching a light-burned magnesium solution, and a large amount of steam generated in ammonia distillation pushes a steam turbine to generate electricity so as to save energy and reduce consumption. The relevant parameters of a steam turbine are not given in the process, but the introduction of the steam turbine inevitably increases fixed investment and operation cost, and the feasibility is not high.
Application publication No. CN102502722A discloses a production method of high-purity magnesium oxide, which comprises the steps of calcining low-grade magnesite, collecting carbon dioxide, leaching light calcined magnesium by using an ammonium salt solution, obtaining magnesium salt and ammonia water, filtering the magnesium salt solution, reacting the ammonia water with the collected carbon dioxide to obtain an ammonium bicarbonate solution, reacting the solution with the magnesium salt to obtain magnesium carbonate and an ammonium salt solution, filtering, drying and calcining the magnesium carbonate to obtain magnesium oxide, and reusing the ammonium salt solution. The key problems of the process are that the leaching time of the magnesium oxide leached by the ammonium salt solution is long at normal temperature, the leaching rate is very low in a short time, and when the magnesium salt solution is precipitated by ammonium bicarbonate, leached calcium ions are inevitably precipitated and impurities are introduced.
The principle of the method disclosed in application publication No. CN103241751A is basically the same as that of CN102502722A, which not only can not effectively improve the leaching rate, but also can cause calcium ions to precipitate into the magnesium oxide product.
Application publication No. CN103011630A discloses a method for producing high-purity magnesium hydroxide and magnesium oxide from low-grade magnesite, the method comprises the steps of calcining the low-grade magnesite, leaching ammonium salt to obtain ammonia gas and magnesium salt solution, filtering the magnesium salt solution, introducing part of the ammonia gas to react with carbon dioxide to generate calcium carbonate precipitate for calcium removal, filtering, and adding ammonia water to react to obtain the high-purity magnesium hydroxide. In order to improve the leaching rate of magnesium oxide, the leaching temperature is increased to 100-120 ℃, the leaching time is 2-4 hours, the leaching temperature exceeds the boiling point of water, the reaction time is long, the water consumption and the energy consumption are high, the cost is increased, and meanwhile, the finally unleached magnesite slag is used as a magnesium cement raw material, so that the added value is low.
Application publication No. CN102745724A discloses a method for producing high-purity magnesium oxide by using light-burned magnesium powder, in the process, ammonium acetate solution is used as a leaching agent, magnesium acetate solution and ammonia gas are obtained by leaching, the leaching time is not more than 1h, the ammonia gas reacts with the magnesium acetate to obtain magnesium hydroxide, and the magnesium hydroxide is filtered and calcined to obtain magnesium oxide. The process solves the problems of long ammonia steaming time, low magnesium ion leaching rate and high energy consumption of the existing ammonia steaming method under normal pressure, aims to reduce leaching time, save energy and improve productivity, but ammonium acetate is used for leaching light-burned magnesium powder, the principle is the same as that of ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride or ammonium nitrate, the leaching rate cannot be fundamentally improved, the ammonium acetate has high viscosity and is easy to adhere to a magnesium hydroxide product, when trace organic matters of ammonium acetate or magnesium acetate in the magnesium hydroxide are not washed completely, the ammonium acetate or magnesium acetate can be carbonized after calcination, magnesium oxide can be discolored, the whiteness is reduced, and the appearance is influenced.
Application publication No. CN1212271C discloses a process for the co-production of magnesium sulfate, magnesium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide from magnesite. The method is characterized in that magnesite is ground to below 120 meshes after being calcined (the taste needs to be more than 90%), ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid are added, ammonia is evaporated by adopting the heat of the reaction of the sulfuric acid and light calcined powder, ammonia gas is recycled, and impurities are removed by controlling the temperature and the acidity. Can be used for preparing pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulfate, magnesium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide products. The method has certain production feasibility, and has the defect that over 90 percent of lightly calcined magnesia with taste is required to be used as a basic raw material, and the direct calcination of low-grade magnesite cannot be realized.
Application publication No. CN111017967A discloses a green environment-friendly clean production process of ultra-pure magnesium oxide. The production process adopts light-burned magnesia, sulfuric acid, water and CO2 as production raw materials, and adopts the production processes of distillation (ammonia distillation) → pulping → precipitant preparation → synthesis → pyrolysis → drying, calcination and the like to prepare 99.9% of ultrapure magnesia. The former stage of the process is similar to the invention published under No. CN106745103A, and adopts the procedure of ammonia distillation, for example, under the condition of normal pressure, the reaction temperature is controlled to be 85-100 ℃, the reaction time is 4-7h, and the method also has the disadvantages of long ammonia distillation time and high reaction temperature. In addition, the method comprises the steps of firstly preparing a basic magnesium carbonate intermediate product, and then calcining at 850-950 ℃ for 6-8h to obtain a high-purity magnesium oxide finished product. The calcination process further causes problems such as excessive production cost due to higher calcination temperature and longer calcination time. The production process is adopted to prepare 99.9 percent of ultrapure magnesium oxide, the production or preparation process does not provide key measures such as water purification requirement, impurity filtration and the like, and the doubt on whether 99.9 percent of ultrapure magnesium oxide products can be successfully prepared is large.
Application publication No. CN 108285160A discloses a method for preparing high-purity magnesium oxide. The method adopts heavy magnesium water (magnesium bicarbonate solution) as a production raw material, and prepares high-purity magnesium oxide after iron removal by a strong oxidant, pyrolysis and high-temperature calcination. The method has the defects that high-temperature pyrolysis and high-temperature calcination are needed for preparing high-purity magnesium oxide from the heavy magnesium water, the production cost is high, in addition, the method has no obvious effect on removing impurities such as silicon, calcium, aluminum and the like, and the purity of the obtained magnesium oxide finished product is only about 99 percent.
In conclusion, the recycling of ammonium salt to extract magnesium oxide from magnesite saves raw materials, cannot effectively reduce production cost, and cannot produce high-purity magnesium oxide with purity of more than 99.5%. In addition, the existing method has the defects of high leaching temperature, long time and high energy consumption, and part of the processes have the defects that calcium carbonate enters impurities, so the existing method is not widely applied. The magnesium oxide (MgO) produced by the above conventional production processes is generally less than 99.5% pure, and is very limited in application fields. Meanwhile, the production cost of the traditional production process is higher, such as the production process of seawater or brine plus a soda ash method or an ammonia method. Most of the methods have the problem of environmental pollution, such as a soda/ammonia method, an ammonia distillation method and the like. The production process has great limitation on large-scale production, and a ten-thousand-ton-grade production line is difficult to form.
Ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4 is colorless crystals or white particles. The ammonium sulfate can be used in textile, leather, medicine, etc. Common ammonium sulfate is a good nitrogen fertilizer (commonly called fertilizer powder). Ammonium sulfate can produce ammonium chloride by double decomposition reaction with common salt, and ammonium alum by reaction with aluminum sulfate, and refractory material can be produced together with boric acid. The addition of the plating solution can increase the conductivity. Is used as an acid dye dyeing auxiliary agent and a leather deliming agent. Refined ammonium sulfate (food grade) is a catalyst for food dark brown, and a nitrogen source for culturing yeast in fresh yeast production, and can be used in the fields of protein purification, yeast production, food catalysis, and beer production. The traditional refined ammonium sulfate is prepared by adopting a complex purification process after dissolving industrial ammonium sulfate, and has higher production cost and larger investment.
