Abstract

A vacuum crystallization process uses the sodium nitrate to transform the potassium chloride for the production of the potassium nitrate. The process comprises the following steps: (1) a first time low temperature mother liquid is prepared according to a corresponding phase diagram; (2) the sodium nitrate and the potassium chloride are added by proportion; and the constant temperature conversion is processed at 75-90 Celsius system; (3) the slurry is precipitated at 75-90 Celsius system until the solid percentage reaches 30%-45%, the crystallized high temperature salt is separated through centrifugation and the clear liquid enters into a vacuum crystallizer after filtration; (4) the high temperature salt is washed and the washing liquid is directly sent into the vacuum crystallizer; (5) the cold separation temperature of the vacuum crystallizer is controlled at 25-40 Celsius system, and the potassium nitrate crystal is precipitated; (6) the slurry is pumped into a slurry elevated slot after vacuum crystallization, the slurry is introduced into a centrifuge for the centrifugal separation to obtain the primary product of potassium nitrate; (7) the primary product of potassium nitrate is washed, re-dried and packaged. The invention has a convenient proportion, a mild isolation and transformation condition and a short production process, which can save more than 18% water and more than 20% energy. The operation of the invention is simple, and the process is easy to realize the continuous production and automatization. The invention also has a low production cost and good economic benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production process of potassium nitrate, in particular to a production process for preparing potassium nitrate through double decomposition reaction with sodium nitrate and potassium chloride. Background technique [0002] Potassium nitrate is a colorless transparent orthorhombic crystal or powder or granule, and is an important inorganic chemical product. [0003] Used as a chemical fertilizer, its advantage is that it is completely composed of effective plant nutrients. The total content of potassium and nitrogen can reach 60%, and it is easily absorbed by plants. There is no residue after application. It is a high-quality chlorine-free potassium and nitrogen compound fertilizer. High-quality fertilizer for chlorine-avoiding crops such as tobacco, coffee, tomato, grape, citrus, gardening, flowers, potato, avocado, tea, etc., and has good physical and chemical properties. It is known as the "third-generation potassium fertil...
