The invention discloses a
nitrate system molten salt heat conduction material and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: S1, neutralizing: neutralizing a
sodium sulfate solution and a
nitric acid solution to form a first
sodium nitrate raw material solution having a pH value of 3.5-4.5 and a
mass percentage concentration of 23-28%; S2, removing carbon oxides: removing the carbon oxides in the first
sodium nitrate raw material solution to form a second
sodium nitrate raw material solution; S3, evaporating: carrying out evaporative concentration on the second
sodium nitrate raw material solution to obtain a third
sodium nitrate raw material solution having a
mass percentage concentration of 63-67%; S4, crystallizing and dehydrating: crystallizing and dehydrating the third sodium nitrate raw material solution to obtain a
solid sodium nitrate raw material; and S5,
drying:
drying the
solid sodium nitrate raw material to obtain the final product
molten salt grade sodium nitrate. The method allows the high-purity
molten salt grade sodium nitrate to be directly produced, and has the advantages of simplicity, easiness in control, realization of automatic production, and suitableness for safe, continuous, stable and rapid production of high-purity sodium nitrate.
