The invention relates to a method for improving the grain size of
magnesium nitrate hexahydrate crystals, and belongs to the technical field of
magnesium nitrate hexahydrate crystals. The invention mainly solves the technical problems of small
crystal granularity, slender and fragile
crystal shape, easy hardening and poor
crystallization efficiency in the existing
magnesium nitrate hexahydrate
crystallization process. According to the technical scheme, the method for improving the grain size of the
magnesium nitrate hexahydrate
crystal comprises the following steps: 1) preparing a
magnesium nitrate solution, namely adding a magnesium
oxide solid into a certain amount of water, adjusting the pH value by using
nitric acid with a certain concentration, and filtering to remove impurities in the solution; 2) concentration of the
magnesium nitrate solution: putting the magnesium nitrate solution without impurities into an
evaporator, and concentrating the magnesium nitrate solution at high temperature; 3)
seed crystal preparation:
grinding a magnesium nitrate
solid with a
mortar, and
grinding into
small particles for later use; and 4) cooling
crystallization: pouring the magnesium nitrate concentrated solution obtained in the step 2) into a crystallizer, rapidly cooling to 45-65 DEG C, then adding a
seed crystal, and centrifuging after cooling to 25-45 DEG C to obtain magnesium nitrate particles. The method has the advantages that the operation is simple, the crystal shape is granular, the
granularity is large and uniform, the crystallization efficiency is high, and the like.
