The invention discloses a
cryolite production process without
discharge of waste water, which includes the steps of: 1) preparing
slurry; 2) performing reactions; 3) performing
centrifugal separation;4) eluting and
drying a
cryolite crude product separated in the step 3) to prepare a
cryolite product; 5) precipitating the cryolite product; 6) alkalizing the cryolite product; and 7)
waste treatment: cooling discharged water from an alkalization tank in the step 6) to normal temperature, adding the water into an
ammonia separation kettle, adding
hydrochloric acid to control content of free
ammonia in
clear liquid to be less than 1.3%, pH being 6.5-7.1, so that the
hydrochloric acid is reacted with the free
ammonia (NH3) to generate
ammonium chc loride and is reacted with free
sodium ions togenerate NaCl, adding
ammonium sulfate or
ammonium nitrate, as an anionic exciting agent, according to 8-11 wt% of total salt weight, and uniformly adding
solid NaCl on the basis of 100% of the content of
ammonium chloride to crystallize and separate-out the
ammonium chloride under effect of the anionic exciting agent, while the NaCl is rapidly dissolved in water to obtain brine until the
ammonium chloride is completely separated out and the brine is saturated, finally performing
solid-liquid separation with a
centrifuge to obtain the ammonium
chloride, the brine returning to the step 2).
