Problems solved by technology

However, in order to obtain higher purity, the distillation method is generally carried out under vacuum conditions and at an evaporation temperature close to the melting point of Mg (650-700 ° C), so its preparation efficiency is low; the purity of crystalline magnesium in different temperature zones is different, generally only at a suitable temperature. The crystalline magnesium is high-purity magnesium, so its high-purity magnesium yield is low; in order to obtain ultra-high-purity magnesium (99.999%-99.9999%), multiple distillations are required, so the cost is very high
Based on the above reasons, the vacuum distillation method cannot meet the needs of industrialized large-scale production.
[0005] In addition, the method of purifying magnesium in the prior art also has a method of using filter material to assist impurity removal by vapor deposition, but generally the filter material uses stainless steel fiber or the method of combining stainless steel fiber with copper fiber, and stainless steel is not suitable for the environment where the magnesium vapor pressure is too high. Working conditions, suitable for low heating temperature - low temperature sublimation conditions, so the efficiency of magnesium purification is low, and the output of high-purity magnesium is extremely low

Abstract

The invention provides a gas phase magnesium purification method based on a pure iron filter material. The method uses the pure iron filter material to filter magnesium vapor, on one hand, the pure iron does not react with the magnesium vapor, and no new impurities are brought to the system; on the other hand, impurities Al, Mn and iron in the magnesium vapor have special affinity, and stable solid solution can be formed with iron; meanwhile, pure iron can be used as a site for nucleation of certain impurities in the magnesium vapor, so that the nucleation energy barrier can be reduced, the certain impurities can be deposited in advance, and impurities can be removed. The method can be applied to industrial large-scale gas phase magnesium purification, the production efficiency of magnesium purification is improved on the order of magnitude through increasing the temperature, the content of impurities Mn in the magnesium raw material is reduced to 10 ppm or below, the content of Al isreduced to 10 ppm or below, the content of Ca is reduced to 20 ppm or below, and meanwhile, non-metal impurity elements such as F, Cl and S can be removed to obtain the magnesium with the purity of 99.99% or above.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal magnesium purification, and in particular relates to a method and device for gas-phase magnesium purification based on a pure iron filter material. Background technique [0002] Magnesium and magnesium alloys are the lightest metal structural materials, and their density is about two-thirds of that of aluminum alloy and one-fifth of that of steel. Therefore, one of the important applications of magnesium alloys is energy saving and weight reduction in the automotive industry, rail transit and other fields. In addition, magnesium alloy also has the advantages of good electromagnetic shielding performance and excellent biocompatibility, and has bright application prospects in more functional fields. At present, in the field of magnesium purification, there are chronic problems such as low overall product purity (only 99.90%), many types of impurity elements (mainly containing Mn, Al, Ca, Si, Fe, Ni, ...
