The invention discloses a method for producing
cryolite from fluosilicic acid waste liquid in the technical field of
cryolite preparation. The method includes the steps of 1, adding the fluosilicic acid waste liquid and excessive 5-10%
sodium carbonate into a reaction kettle, mixing to form material liquid, stirring the material liquid, heating to 70 DEG C, filtering out
silica gel until a pH value of the material liquid reaches 8-9, and obtaining filtrate, namely a
sodium fluoride solution; 2, pouring the fluosilicic acid waste liquid and aluminum
oxide in a specific reaction ratio into the reaction kettle to form material liquid, stirring the material liquid, heating to 80 DEG C, filtering out
silica gel until the material liquid is free of particles, and obtaining filtrate, namely an
aluminum fluoride solution; 3, adding the
sodium fluoride solution and the excessive 9-11%
aluminum fluoride solution into a synthesis kettle to form mixed liquid, heating the mixed liquid to 95-100 DEG C until no
crystal particle generates in the synthesis kettle, filtering the mixed liquid to obtain the
cryolite, heating hot water to wash, spin-
drying and
drying so as to obtain a cryolite finished product. By the method, the
utilization rate of the fluosilicic acid waste liquid and the yield of the cryolite are increased remarkably, and the quality of the cryolite can be improved remarkably.
