The invention discloses a method for treating materials for preparing
sodium iodide, which comprises the following steps: firstly, dissolving
sodium hydroxide by using a
mixed solution of
ethanol and water under the protection of
nitrogen, heating, and then adding elemental
iodine to react to generate
sodium iodide; secondly, adding a composite catalyst, and stirring for 25-35 minutes to promote reaction; then, a
silver nitrate solution is added to remove an unreacted
iodine source, a
filtration and concentration cooling method is adopted to promote
sodium iodide crystals to be separated out, and the process is repeated at least twice to improve the product purity; finally, the obtained
sodium iodide crystals are placed in a
supercritical carbon dioxide drying device to be efficiently dried at low temperature, according to the method, by controlling
reaction conditions, introducing an efficient composite catalyst and applying an advanced
drying technology, the yield and purity of
sodium iodide are effectively improved, and the stability and quality of a final product are remarkably improved; compared with a traditional method, the process has the advantages that the
impurity content can be remarkably reduced while the high yield is guaranteed, and purer raw materials are provided for subsequent steps.
