The invention relates to a novel method for preparing high-purity
anhydrous ferric trichloride, which is technically characterized by comprising the following steps of: S1, filling 5000mg of high-purity FeCl2. 4H2O
crystal particles into a
polytetrafluoroethylene tank protected by
argon atmosphere, heating to 220-225 DEG C by using microwaves or / and light
waves, arranging a
tail gas absorption device above, cooling the absorbed
mixed gas to form a
liquid state, collecting the
liquid state for reutilization, and recycling the
liquid state by using the
tail gas absorption device; heating is conducted for 20 min to 30 min; s2, small blocky solids of
anhydrous FeCl2 are put into a
grinding machine groove protected by
argon to be ground, and
grinding is stopped after the
diameter of particles ranges from 0.1
micrometer to 5 micrometers; and S3, loading the powdery
anhydrous FeCl2 particles into a stirring and
grinding reaction kettle, stirring and grinding at 50-90r / min, meanwhile, adding dried high-purity
chlorine gas into the bottom of the reaction kettle, and terminating the reaction when the pressure is 0.10-0.11 MPa, the
chlorine gas and the anhydrous FeCl2
powder are subjected to an
exothermic reaction (90 DEG C) and Fe < 2 + > is less than or equal to 0.15 wt%, so as to obtain the powdery anhydrous FeCl3. The method has the advantages of short process flow, capability of being operated at normal temperature and normal pressure, low
energy consumption required by reaction, high final product purity and the like.
