The invention discloses a boiling heating method and a boiling
heating furnace for preparing
zirconium tetrachloride, and belongs to the field of
zirconium tetrachloride preparation. According to the boiling heating method for preparing
zirconium tetrachloride,
zircon sand is used as a
raw material,
zirconium carbide is used as a
raw material and a heating agent,
chlorine is used as a chlorinating agent and boiling fluidizing air, carbonaceous is used as a
reducing agent, and a boiling chlorination method is adopted for preparation. In order to achieve the method, the boiling
heating furnace for preparing zirconium tetrachloride is provided and comprises a
fluidization reaction section and a filtering and purifying section, the
fluidization reaction section is located on the lower portion of the boiling
heating furnace, the filtering and purifying section is located on the upper portion of the boiling heating furnace, and the
fluidization reaction section and the filtering and purifying section are fixedly and hermetically connected. According to the boiling heating furnace for preparing zirconium tetrachloride, through structural adjustment of the fluidization reaction section and the filtering purification section, uniform fluidization heating is achieved, the filtering efficiency is improved, meanwhile,
zirconium carbide is added into raw materials, heat needed by the
zircon sand chlorination reaction can be provided, and
reducing agent carbon needed by the
zircon sand chlorination reaction is supplemented. According to the method,
electric energy is saved, and operation cost is reduced.
