This invention belongs to the field of
environmental protection and resource recycling technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing high-purity basic
magnesium carbonate from low-grade
magnesite. The method includes the following steps: S1, crushing the low-grade
magnesite and mixing it with an acid solution for acid leaching to obtain an acid leaching solution; S2, removing impurities from the acid leaching solution to obtain a refined solution; S3, absorbing the
carbon dioxide gas released during the acid leaching step using an absorbent to obtain a
carbon dioxide-loaded solution; S4, mixing the refined solution and the
carbon dioxide-loaded solution for
precipitation to obtain basic
magnesium carbonate product and a protonated absorbent solution; S5, recovering the acid and regenerating the absorbent solution from the protonated absorbent solution using a bipolar membrane
electrodialysis device. This invention utilizes the CO2-loaded solution as a precipitant to react with the Mg in the refined solution. 2+ The reaction produces basic
magnesium carbonate. The
reaction conditions are mild, and the
crystal morphology and particle size are easy to control, thus obtaining a high-value-added product that meets market demands.
