Problems solved by technology

Because this method is in the potassium-enriched mother liquor that potassium-enriched operation makes K + content of only 19.45-21.45 grams per liter, resulting in higher energy consumption for the subsequent evaporation, concentration and separation process, and the need to add more water for subsequent carnallite decomposition and crude potassium washing, making this method The overall energy consumption is high

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing potassium chloride from seawater. The method mainly comprises a potassium ion adsorbing and eluting process, an evaporating and concentrating process, a heat preserving and settling process, a cooling and crystallizing process and the like. The method comprises the following specific steps of: introducing the seawater serving as a raw material into an ion exchange column which is filled with sodium clinoptilolite at room temperature for adsorbing until potassium ions fully undergoes an exchange reaction with sodium ions on the clinoptilolite, namely, adsorption of the potassium ions reaches a saturated state; washing off the seawater in the ion exchange column with water; introducing an eluent which contains ammonium chloride and sodium chloride into the ion exchange column, wherein the ammonium chloride accounts for 15 to 25 mass percent of the eluent and the sodium chloride accounts for 10 mass percent of the eluent; eluting the potassium ions on the clinoptilolite to obtain potassium-rich fluid; evaporating and concentrating the potassium-rich fluid to obtain supernate; cooling the supernate and introducing ammonia into the cooled supernate; and separating ammonia out and crystallizing the supernate to obtain the potassium chloride. The method has the advantages of simple technical process, no discharge of waste liquid in the technical process and capability of further lowering the cost by recycling the clinoptilolite, ammonia water and saline water, enhancing economic benefit and breaking a new path for national supply of agricultural potassium fertilizers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation of potassium chloride, in particular to a process for preparing potassium chloride from seawater. technical background [0002] Potassium chloride is the most important type of potash fertilizer, and it is widely used in chemical industry, petroleum and pharmaceutical industries. At present, potassium chloride at home and abroad is mainly processed from land solid potassium ore or salt lake brine. Due to the shortage of land potassium resources in our country, the domestic potassium chloride mainly depends on imports. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop new technologies for the development of seawater potassium resources with a total reserve of 550 trillion tons. [0003] In terms of extracting potassium from seawater, scientists at home and abroad have successively proposed a variety of process methods including four technical routes including chemical precipitation, solvent extraction, membrane separat...
