This invention belongs to the field of
fly ash treatment technology, specifically disclosing a method for separating
potassium and
sodium from
fly ash, including the following steps: adjusting the
acid concentration in the
fly ash washing solution to 40-65% and the temperature to 40-65℃, adding a
sodium precipitating agent and maintaining the
reaction temperature, and filtering to obtain
sodium salt and
potassium-containing waste liquid. This invention utilizes
precipitation to recover sodium ions from fly ash washing solution. After
filtration,
sodium salt precipitate and
potassium-containing waste liquid are obtained. During this process, the reaction is controlled under acidic conditions to prevent potassium
ion precipitation. At 40-60℃, the sodium precipitating agent reacts with sodium ions to obtain
sodium salt precipitate with large crystals, which allows for more convenient and thorough
filtration, resulting in better separation of potassium and sodium ions in the fly ash washing solution. The
sodium salt precipitate is further washed with a displacement agent to replace the
potassium ions attached to the surface of the sodium salt precipitate with sodium, improving the purity of the sodium salt product. Finally, multiple water washings are performed to reduce the acidity of the sodium salt precipitate, resulting in a sodium salt product with stable quality.
