Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of potassium sulfate production process by mirabilite method, and specifically relates to a production process for preparing potassium sulfate by an asymmetric balancing method of potassium-containing mirabilite. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are mainly three domestic production processes for potassium sulfate: one is the Mannheim method for potassium sulfate production process, in which potassium chloride reacts with sulfuric acid in a Mannheim furnace at a high temperature (500 - 600 °C) to obtain potassium sulfate finished products. The generated HC1 gas is absorbed by a tail gas recovery device to obtain by-product hydrochloric acid. This process causes relatively serious corrosion to equipment, has relatively large environmental protection risks, and at the same time, the sales of by-product hydrochloric acid directly affect the production of potassium sulfate. The obtained finished potassium sulfate contains free acid and relatively high chloride due to the reaction under acidic conditions. The second is the ammonium sulfate method for potassium sulfate production process, and the disposal of by-product ammonium chloride affects potassium sulfate production. The third is the resource-based method, which directly separates and extracts from salt lakes. The products have more impurities and the exploitation of salt lakes is restricted.

[0003] The method for producing potassium sulfate by converting mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) is to react mirabilite with potassium chloride to first form potassium mirabilite (Na2SO4·3K2SO4) and a first mother liquor (also called potassium mirabilite mother liquor), see the following formula (1), and then further react the separated potassium mirabilite with potassium chloride to produce potassium sulfate and sodium chloride, see the following formulas (2) and (3). The technological process of producing potassium sulfate through separation and drying. The theoretical basis for producing potassium sulfate by mirabilite conversion method is the K + 、Na + / / Cl - 、SO4 2- —H2O quaternary water-salt system phase diagram. According to the differences in the solubility of various salts at different temperatures, crystallization separation is carried out. KCl, NaCl, K2SO4, and Na2SO4 are four salts that form a quaternary water-salt system with water. Among them, NaCl and K2SO4, and Na2SO4 and KCl are salt pairs. At any temperature, the crystallization regions of potassium sulfate and sodium chloride do not adjoin each other. Therefore, potassium chloride and sodium sulfate must go through two-stage conversion to produce potassium sulfate.

[0004] The chemical reactions are as follows:

[0005] Na2SO4 + KCl + H2O → Na2SO4·3K2SO4 + a first mother liquor (also called potassium mirabilite mother liquor) (1)

[0006] Na2SO4·3K2SO4 + KCl + H2O → K2SO4 + a second mother liquor (also called potassium mother liquor) (2)

[0007] The first mother liquor → NaCl + salt mother liquor + H2O (3)

[0008] The main raw materials for producing potassium sulfate by the Glauber's salt conversion method are Glauber's salt, potassium chloride, and water, and the entire production system is in a closed cycle. The water entering the system mainly includes the evaporated condensed water added by the second conversion of dissolved potassium chloride and the crystallized water brought in by the raw material Glauber's salt; the water flowing out of the system is mainly distilled water. In theory, only when the two are balanced can the entire system operate stably. In the production practice process, the water entering the system also includes process wastewater recovered from production operations, spray water, machine seal water, cooling tower water, flushing water, etc. supplemented by the outside world. The water balance is difficult to maintain, and the system liquid level continues to expand. At that time, emergency measures can only be taken to increase the evaporation intensity to lower the liquid level of the system, which will reduce the quality of the potassium sulfate product. Therefore, the development of a production process for preparing potassium sulfate by an asymmetric equilibrium method containing potassium Glauber's salt is a technical problem to be solved in the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems that in the actual production process of preparing potassium sulfate from mirabilite, the water balance is difficult to maintain, the system liquid level continues to expand, and emergency measures can only be taken to increase the evaporation intensity to lower the system liquid level, but the quality of the potassium sulfate product will be reduced. A production process for preparing potassium sulfate by an asymmetric equilibrium method containing potassium mirabilite is provided.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0011] The present invention provides a production process for preparing potassium sulfate by an asymmetric equilibrium method containing sodium sulfate, comprising the following steps:

[0012] (1) According to the material balance calculation at 25° C., thenardite, potassium chloride and water are added in proportion to react to obtain a first-turn mother liquor and glauberite, and the glauberite enters the second turn to participate in the reaction; after the first-turn mother liquor is subjected to plate and frame filter pressing to remove impurities, condensed water is evaporated at a temperature of 100° C. at a ratio of 30-35% of the total volume of the system to obtain salt and salt mother liquor, the salt mother liquor is subjected to n-stage flash evaporation to obtain a salt mother liquor with a low water content index, and the salt mother liquor is cooled to 50-60° C. and then enters the front end of the first turn reaction for recycling. ; The water index of the mother liquor in the front end reaction tank of the first reaction is 14-15; the temperature of the mother liquor in the middle reaction tank of the first reaction is 25-35°C, the water index is 14-15, the temperature of the mother liquor in the reaction tank at the end of the first reaction is 25-35°C, the water index is 15-16; the first reaction is n series-connected reaction tanks with self-circulation and lower circulation, stirring and coil cooling, n≥6, the volume of the reaction tank V=100-120m 3 , the material is continuously self-circulated and down-circulated through the circulation pump;

[0013] In the present invention, the functional areas of the first-stage reaction are partitioned. No additional water is added to the reaction tank in the first half, and the water index of the mother liquor at the front end of the first stage is controlled to be 14 - 15. The quality of the glaserite generated is controlled in the reaction tank in the second half, and the Cl remaining in the glaserite - ≤3%.

[0014] (2) Dissolve potassium chloride in the condensed water obtained in step (1) to obtain a potassium chloride solution. The mass fraction of potassium chloride in the potassium chloride solution is 24% - 26%. Perform a second-stage reaction on the potassium chloride solution and the glaserite obtained in step (1). The potassium chloride solution is controlled by a flowmeter to obtain potassium sulfate and a mother liquor of the second stage. The mother liquor of the second stage with a high water index enters the first-stage cyclic reaction from the middle reaction tank. The second-stage reaction is carried out in n series-connected reaction tanks with self-circulation and downward circulation, equipped with stirring and coil cooling, where n ≥ 3, and the volume V of the reaction tank is 100 - 120 m 3 , and the temperature in the terminal reaction tank is controlled to be 20 - 25 °C through the chilled water in the coils in the reaction tank, the chlorine index is 0.91 ± 0.01, and the water index is 22 ± 1;

[0015] (3) Return the salt mother liquor and the mother liquor of the second stage to the first-stage reaction tank according to a volume ratio of 3:1. Dissolve the glauber's salt containing glaserite and sodium sulfate in the salt mother liquor and the mother liquor of the second stage to obtain a nitrate solution. Control the potassium index of the mother liquor of the first stage to be 0.30 - 0.35, and the solid content to be 20% - 40%, so as to control the production amount of the glaserite generated at the end of the first-stage reaction.

[0016] Preferably, the content of K2O in the potassium sulfate product in the present invention is ≥50%.

[0017] Preferably, in step (1) of the present invention, the mass ratio of glauber's salt, potassium chloride, and water is 1:(1.0 - 1.1):(2.0 - 2.1), and most preferably 1:1.075:2.036.

[0018] Preferably, in step (2) of the present invention, the mass ratio of the flow rate of potassium chloride to the mass of glaserite is (2 - 2.5):1.

[0019] Preferably, in step (3) of the present invention, the mass ratio of the glauber's salt containing glaserite to sodium sulfate is (1 - 2):1.

[0020] The index in the present invention refers to the Jänecke index, which is mainly used in the research of water-salt phase diagrams and production guidance. The model drawing for the production of potassium sulfate from sodium sulfate is 2Na + 、2K + / / 2Cl - 、SO4 2-—H2O, representing the relationship between the physical phase and the composition. At any point in the phase diagram, the dry basis components (i.e., the concentrations of various ions) at that point can be understood, and this component representation is expressed using exponents. In the present invention, n 2Na+ +n 2K+ =n 2Cl- +n SO42- , and the proportion of each ion is called an exponent. For example, n 2Na+ =a, n 2K+ =b, n 2Cl- =C, n SO42- =d, n H2O =e, then the potassium exponent = a / (a + b), the water exponent = e / (a + b) = e / (c + d), and the chlorine exponent = c / (c + d).

[0021] The present invention designs a production process for preparing potassium sulfate by an asymmetric balanced method using potassium-containing mirabilite. This asymmetry includes many aspects: firstly, the evaporation system adopts a mode of multi-inlet of cold clear liquid (here, multi-inlet means more than the theoretical cold clear liquid entering) and multi-outlet of salt mother liquor (here, multi-outlet means more than the theoretical salt mother liquor produced), and evaporates according to a fixed ratio to obtain enough evaporation condensate water per unit time, and the extra part is used to digest the water supplemented into the system from the outside; secondly, since the two-stage conversion reaction is an equimolar reaction of potassium chloride solution and potassium-containing mirabilite, mirabilite containing potassium is used in combination with anhydrous sodium sulfate to produce potassium sulfate. The core is to control the index of the potassium exponent in the first-stage reaction system by using the proportion of mirabilite containing potassium, so as to adjust the production amount of potassium mirabilite to match the amount of evaporation condensate water that needs to be dissolved and consumed in an equimolar ratio, so as to maintain the overall balance of production, and at the same time, the quality of the prepared potassium sulfate meets the quality requirements of the national standard for agricultural potassium sulfate GB / T 20406-2017, powder crystalline excellent grade (K2O≥52%) and first grade (K2O≥50%).
