Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method for recovering magnesium element and calcium element from magnesium sulfate solution. Background technique
[0002] At present, in many industrial fields, a large amount of waste liquid containing magnesium is often produced. Likewise, acid leaching of magnesium-bearing ores in hydrometallurgical processes produces large quantities of solutions containing magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate, also known as "bitter water", is a toxic substance that can cause diarrhea in humans. Therefore, the country prohibits the direct discharge of wastewater containing magnesium sulfate.
[0003] There are mainly two ways to treat wastewater containing magnesium sulfate: one is to make magnesium sulfate heptahydrate through evaporation and concentration, cooling and crystallization, which is the commonly used magnesium fertilizer in China; the other is to prepare magnesium hydroxide by ...
