The invention discloses a preparation method for high-purity
magnesium oxide. The preparation method for high-purity
magnesium oxide comprises the following steps of: calcining
magnesite to generate caustic calcined
magnesite; heating the caustic calcined
magnesite and
ammonium salt
mother liquor to boil, and distilling; absorbing the distilled mixture of
ammonia gas and water by carbonated aqueous
ammonia I to form carbonated aqueous
ammonia II; carbonizing the carbonated aqueous ammonia II by CO2 from a calcining furnace or
flue gas from a washing-
cooling tower in a
carbonization tower to generate the carbonated aqueous ammonia I, and conveying the carbonated aqueous ammonia I in a
storage tank I; conveying a part of the carbonated aqueous ammonia I entering in the
storage tank I in an ammonia absorption
tower for recycling; mixing the other part of the carbonated aqueous ammonia I with the
magnesium salt solution formed by
distillation in a reaction kettle, so as to generate basic magnesium
carbonate and
ammonium salt; filtering and conveying the
ammonium salt in the reaction kettle for recycling; and calcining basic magnesium
carbonate to prepare high-purity magnesium
oxide. According to the preparation method for high-purity magnesium oxide disclosed by the invention, by recycling CO2 and
ammonia gas generated during the reaction process, the problem of high
raw material consumption due to massive use for
ammonium bicarbonate during the production process is solved, and the production cost is reduced; and moreover, the product is high in purity, and the production process is simple in equipment and capable of being used for industrial production for high-purity magnesium oxide.
