Problems solved by technology

The traditional preparation of sodium persulfate generally uses electrolytic oxidation of ammonium sulfate aqueous solution to generate ammonium persulfate, and then undergoes metathesis reaction with sodium hydroxide to drive out the by-product ammonia, then concentrate under reduced pressure, crystallize, and dry to obtain sodium persulfate. The equation is: (NH4) 2 +2NaOH→Na 2 S 2 o 8 +2NH 3 +2H 2 O, or use electrolytic cold sulfuric acid to obtain peroxodisulfuric acid, and then react with alkali to obtain sodium persulfate. The reaction principle is 2HS0 4 - -2e - →H 2 S 2 o 8 , H 2 S 2 o 8 +2NaOH→Na 2 S 2 o 8 +2H 2 O, but the above methods all have disadvantages such as high power consumption, low current efficiency, low yield, high cost, and large consumption of raw materials

[0005] Japanese patent publication 31190 / 1980 (shown 55) discloses a kind of preparation method of sodium persulfate, is in the presence of ammonium ion, carries out electrolysis by using neutral raw material as anode, but this method is because of having lower electric current efficiency so considered uneconomical

Japanese patent application delay publication 56395 (shown 50) discloses a kind of preparation method of sodium persulfate, and the raw material of use is sodium bicarbonate, but although this method has used specific electrolytic cell and expensive titanium negative electrode, current in electrolysis extremely inefficient
