The invention discloses a method for preparing alpha high-strength
gypsum from a freezing method nitrophosphate byproduct
calcium nitrate tetrahydrate. The method comprises the following steps: decomposing
phosphorite by utilizing
nitric acid; filtering out acid-insoluble substances, carrying out freezing
crystallization on an acidolysis solution, filtering out
calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, regulating the concentration of
calcium ions in a
calcium nitrate solution, respectively preheating the
calcium nitrate solution,
phosphoric acid and
ammonium sulfate mixed solution to 95-110 DEG C, mixingin a
crystallization tank, and carrying out constant-temperature reaction for 8-12 hours to directly obtain the alpha-type high-strength
gypsum product; the
mass percent of the decalcifying acid solution for preparing the
mixed solution of
phosphoric acid and
ammonium sulfate in the step (5) is less than or equal to 35%, and the
mass percent of the decalcifying acid solution for preparing the
calcium nitrate solution in the step (4) is less than or equal to 50%. The method disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that the high-purity and high-quality alpha high-strength
gypsum isproduced by utilizing the byproduct
calcium nitrate tetrahydrate of the existing freezing method nitrophosphate
fertilizer process flow, the new application of the
calcium nitrate tetrahydrate is increased, the operation is simple, and the cost is low.
