The invention discloses a
potassium chloride and
ammonium nitrate double
decomposition and circulation method for producing high quality
potassium nitrate. According to the method,
potassium chloride and
ammonium nitrate are taken as the raw materials, and the method comprises steps of
raw material preparation,
potassium nitrate crystallization, foam floatation and separation,
potassium nitrate refinement, and
ammonium chloride crystallization. The method is developed on the basis of conventional
potassium nitrate production technology by improving part of the technology; wherein in the foam flotation and
separation technology, in the presence of a floatation
reagent (C12-C20 higher straight-chain
aliphatic amine) and in a certain pH value range, the
ammonium chloride and coarse potassium nitrate can be separated through foam entrainment; in the potassium nitrate refinement, the refined potassium mother liquid in the previous circulation is used to wash the coarse potassium nitrate, and then potassium nitrate is purified by
sodium carbonate. In one aspect, the conventional potassium nitrate production technology is optimized, the potassium nitrate quality is improved, and the
impurity content of the potassium nitrate product is greatly reduced. In the other aspect, the water using amount is reduced, the labor intensity is also reduced, and the production cost is saved. The industrial grade KNO3
mass content is not less than 99.7%, the content of Cl<-> is not more than 0.01%, and the content of NH4<+> is not more than 0.03%. the method has a wide application value and can generate prominent social benefit and economic benefit.
