Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this method are that: (i) the addition rate needs to be carefully controlled to maintain the pH between 6 and 7; (ii) high shear is required, and (iii) aging the material for 12-17 hours makes the method economically unviable
The disadvantage of this method is that it requires shear involving a high energy input and the reaction time is longer than that of the present invention, which adversely affects the economics of the method

Embodiment 1

[0079] 2.7 kg of kimberlite was treated with a 1:1 mixture of hydrochloric acid:water at 95-100°C under continuous stirring, maintaining a solid to liquid ratio of 1:4 for 3 hours, then the slurry was filtered and washed with tap water until Moist solid cake has no acid. The cake was dried in an oven at 100-110°C and used for the preparation of sodium silicate. To prepare sodium silicate, 0.64 kg of base was dissolved in 8 lit of water and placed in a stainless steel autoclave. To this autoclave, under continuous stirring, 2 kg of acid-treated kimberlite was added to prepare a homogeneous slurry. The reactor is heated at boiling temperature for 1 to 3.5 hours. After the reaction was complete, the slurry was filtered through a vacuum filter. Analysis of filtrate for SiO 2 and Na 2 O. Depending on the time of alkali digestion, SiO 2 / Na 2 O molar ratio is 3-3.6.

Embodiment 2

[0081] will contain SiO 2 =17.66%, Na 2 O = 5.64%; SiO with a coefficient of 3.24 2 / Na 2 199 g of sodium silicate of O was introduced into a stainless steel reactor equipped with a pitch blade stirrer and diluted to 640 ml to adjust the silica concentration to 55 g / liter. By adding soluble sodium salt, the Na of this solution + The ion concentration was adjusted to 22.3 g / liter. Prior to the initial neutralization process, the sodium silicate solution was heated and the temperature was raised to 70°C and 2.3N sulfuric acid was added at a controlled rate of 6.2ml / min over a period of 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the acid addition was interrupted for 10 minutes. The remaining acid at the same concentration was then added at a rate of 3.6 ml / min until the pH of the reaction mixture was 4. The slurry was then stirred for an additional 5 minutes, filtered, washed until free of adhering anions, dried in an air circulating oven, and comminuted to a fine size. The properties of...

[0083] will contain SiO 2 =13.9%, Na 2 O = 4.78%; SiO with a coefficient of 3.2 2 / Na 2 201 g of sodium silicate of O was introduced into a stainless steel reactor equipped with a pitched blade stirrer and diluted to 466 ml to adjust a silica concentration of 60 g / liter. By adding soluble sodium salt, the Na of this solution + The ion concentration was adjusted to 22.7 g / liter. Prior to the initial neutralization process, the sodium silicate solution was heated and the temperature was raised to 70°C and 2.39N sulfuric acid was added at a controlled rate of 6.5ml / min over a period of 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the acid addition was interrupted for 10 minutes. The remaining acid at the same concentration was then added at a rate of 2.8 ml / min until the pH of the reaction mixture was 4. The slurry was then stirred for an additional 5 minutes, filtered, washed until free of adhering anions, dried in an air circulating oven, and comminuted to a fine size. The properties of ...

Abstract

Described is a new method for preparing freely flow hydration amorphous silicon dioxide from kimberlite tailings a waste of diamond mining. The method comprises that using acid to process kimberlite, reacting with alkali liquid further so as to obtain soluble metal silicate solution, and then neutralizing the metal silicate solution with inorganic acid so as to the silicon dioxide synthesize to insoluble deposition. The product can be used for rubber and paint as abrasives.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of amorphous silica from kimberlite tailings, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the utilization of silica in kimberlite to prepare soluble alkali metal silicates, which are subsequently diluted with an acidifying agent, i.e. form of mineral acid to neutralize it to obtain an amorphous powder. Background technique [0002] Silica is particularly useful in strengthening elastomers such as rubber and in improving the resistance of rubber to abrasion. They are also used as carriers for dental active substances which are stored at the site of action and then released over a considerable period of time (deposition effect, controlled release). The silica thus acts as an active substance reservoir which contains the active substance in absorbed, adsorbed or chemisorbed form. Silica may be used in any form, for example precipitated or silica gel or fumed silica. Silica is al...
