The invention relates to the technical field of high-purity
boric acid production, and provides an
iron removal method for preparing high-purity
boric acid. According to different iron contents in the crude
boric acid (
raw material), different methods are adopted to remove iron. When the content of iron in the crude boric acid is greater than or equal to 0.001%, the crude boric acid, water and
hydrogen peroxide are mixed, oxidation reaction is conducted to obtain an oxidation reaction solution with the boric
acid concentration of less than 180g / L, heat preservation
flocculation treatment is conducted on the oxidation reaction solution at the temperature of 65 DEG C or more for 30 minutes or more, and then
solid-liquid separation and cooling
crystallization are conducted. When the
iron content in the crude boric acid is less than or equal to 0.0015%, after high-concentration
crystallization of boric acid, a produced
mother liquor and
hydrogen peroxide are mixed for oxidation reaction, thus the
mother liquor is recycled after
flocculation and
filtration, so that the iron in the
system is maintained at a low balance level, and the product quality is ensured. The method provided by the invention breaks through the
bottleneck that a recrystallization method has harsh requirements on the quality of raw materials, is simple in steps and low in cost, and is convenient for realizing large-scale production of high-purity boric acid products.
