The invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity
chromium chloride through alkali circulation, which comprises the following steps: mixing ferrochromium and an alkali solution for liquid-phase oxidation leaching, carrying out
solid-liquid separation on a leaching solution to obtain a chromate solution and leaching residues, adding a certain amount of organic
reducing agent into the leaching solution to reduce
hexavalent chromium in the solution into trivalent
chromium, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the trivalent
chromium to obtain the high-purity chromium
chloride. And carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the reduced
slurry to obtain a
filter cake and filtrate. And washing the reduced
filter cake, and performing
acid dissolution to obtain the high-purity chromium
chloride. And adding a certain amount of
calcium oxide into the reduced filtrate for causticization reaction, and returning the causticized solution to liquid-phase oxidation. According to the method, oxidation-reduction of
ferrochrome is achieved under the
liquid phase condition to prepare trivalent chromium, then high-purity chromium chloride is prepared through
acid dissolution, only a very small amount of alkali needs to be supplemented in the whole process, aluminum-
silicon impurities in the trivalent chromium can be effectively removed, and the method has the advantages of being simple in technological process, clean,
environmentally friendly, low in production cost and the like.
