This invention relates to a method for preparing
potassium fluorotantalate from
tantalum solution, comprising the following steps: heating and conversion of the solution, transferring the
potassium fluorotantalate
crystallization solution, cooling and crystallizing the
potassium fluorotantalate, discharging the potassium fluorotantalate
crystallization mother liquor, washing the potassium fluorotantalate crystals, discharging the potassium fluorotantalate crystals, and
drying the potassium fluorotantalate crystals. The beneficial effects are: the method of this invention is suitable for preparing potassium fluorotantalate from
tantalum solution with a
tantalum oxide concentration of 50 g / L to 80 g / L; high-concentration tantalum solutions do not require
dilution with deionized water, saving
conversion reaction materials; before adding the potassium fluorotantalate
crystallization solution to the crystallization washing tank, hot water is circulated through the media jacket to preheat the crystallization washing tank, preventing excessively rapid cooling when the potassium fluorotantalate crystallization solution is added to the crystallization washing tank, thus preventing the formation of a large number of
crystal nuclei or the generation of fine crystals, while allowing
sufficient time for
crystal growth.
