The application discloses a preparation method of telluric acid, and comprises the following steps: mixing
tellurium dioxide material with a
sodium hydroxide solution to perform an alkali leaching reaction, to obtain a
sodium tellurite solution; mixing the
sodium tellurite solution with an
oxidizing agent to perform an oxidation reaction, to obtain a
sodium tellurite precipitate; mixing the
sodium tellurite precipitate with concentrated
nitric acid to perform an acidification reaction, to obtain a telluric acid precipitate; and placing the telluric acid precipitate in
distilled water to perform recrystallization, filtering and
drying, to obtain a telluric acid product. According to the method, the
tellurium dioxide material is used as a
raw material, a synergistic process of alkali leaching purification, directional oxidation, acidification conversion and refined purification is adopted, high-purity telluric acid can be efficiently prepared, the purification of
tellurium and the preparation of telluric acid can be integrally completed, the traditional synthesis path of the telluric acid, i.e., 'purification first and then synthesis', is overturned, the method has the characteristics of low
raw material cost, simple process, high product purity and high yield, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
