Problems solved by technology

[0008] Most of the brine contains a large amount of other elements except potassium. If this brine is naturally evaporated and concentrated, potassium salt (sylvite, KCl) and canalic acid (canalite, KCl) will be precipitated together with halite (NaCl). · MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O), kainite (KCl MgSO 4 ·3H 2 O), langbeinite (langbeinite, K 2 SO 4 2MgSO 4 ), magnesite (leonite, K 2 SO 4 · MgSO 4 4H 2 O), magnesite (schoenite, K 2 SO 4 · MgSO 4 ·6H 2 O) and polyhalite (polyhalite, K 2 SO 4 · MgSO 4 2CaSO 4 2H 2 O) and other salts, so it is difficult to obtain potassium chloride alone
[0009] In particular, when there are many sulfate ions in brine, potassium does not precipitate as potassium sulfate, but NaK precipitates together with chloride. 3 (SO 4 ) 2 Various forms of potassium-containing sulfates such as KCl and KCl, so it is difficult to separate specific potassium compounds from these potassium-containing sulfates

[0092] Embodiment 2: reclaim potassium chloride from precipitate

[0093] Precipitates at 48.6% to 54.0% and 64.8 to 67.5% of evaporation were mixed and put into a solution prepared by dissolving and saturating NaCl and KCl to prepare a 5% slurry. Wherein, in the above-mentioned evaporation volume section, the KCl presents as the vast majority of potassium-containing salts.

[0094] Put 2 L of the slurry into a flotation device (flotator), add 2 mL of an aqueous surfactant solution, and perform flotation after conditioning for two minutes. The flotation time was three minutes.

[0095] The weight ratio of surfactant used to precipitated slurry was 0.2:100.

[0096] The surfactant used was sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, sodium dodecylsulfate).

[0104] That is to say, when making SO 4 When the brine with high content evaporates, almost no potassium chloride is precipitated, and the precipitate containing potassium is mainly NaK containing sulfate ions. 3 (SO 4 ) 2 . In weight %, the mineral composition of the precipitate is 66.03% NaCl, 4.5% KCl and 29.47% NaK 3 (SO 4 ) 2 .

Description

technical field [0001] An implementation example of the present invention relates to a method for extracting potassium from brine. Background technique [0002] Potassium Chloride is used in many ways in all kinds of industries, from fertilizer to chemical. [0003] Generally, potassium chloride is produced from ore and brine. When using ore, potassium chloride is produced through the process of crushing, classification, flotation and concentration. When using brine, it is concentrated by natural evaporation, so that potassium chloride and sodium chloride are precipitated together, and potassium chloride is separated and recovered. . [0004] In addition, another kind of potassium raw material potassium sulfate (K 2 SO 4 ) are used in many ways in all kinds of industries such as fertilizers, chemicals, etc. [0005] Potassium sulfate is mostly produced from potassium chloride. Potassium chloride and sulfuric acid are mixed to form potassium sulfate and hydrochloric aci...
