The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of
metal oxyhydroxides, and specifically relates to a preparation method and an application for
iron oxyhydroxide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: under the condition of
supergravity, mixing a Fe2+
metal salt solution with an alkaline solution, and allowing
oxygen to reversely contact with a reaction solution at thesame time so as to obtain a mixed reaction
slurry; subjecting the mixed reaction
slurry to gas-liquid separation, and subjecting an obtained liquid to aging under the conditions of stirring and bubbling oxidation so as to prepare a suspension containing the
iron oxyhydroxide; and subjecting the suspension to liquid-
solid separation, and subjecting an obtained
solid phase to washing and
drying so as to obtain the
iron oxyhydroxide. According to the invention, the
precipitation process and the bubbling aging process of a
supergravity reaction are performed in different reactors, so the processesof
crystal nucleus generation and
crystal nucleus growth are separated; through adjustment of parameters of temperature, time and stirring degree in bubbling aging, the environment of
crystal nucleusgrowth is controlled; and preferably, nanoscale or submicron iron oxyhydroxide can be prepared, and has the characteristics of small average particle size, large specific surface area and uniform
particle size distribution.
