Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal magnesium industrial production, in particular to a metal magnesium production line. Background Art

[0002] Magnesium has the characteristics of high strength, low density, large elastic modulus, good heat dissipation, good shock absorption, greater impact load bearing capacity than aluminum alloy, and good resistance to corrosion from organic matter and alkali. It can meet the requirements of weight reduction and energy conservation in the fields of aviation, aerospace, modern automobiles, rail transit, ships, national defense and military industry. It is recognized by the world as the third largest metal structural material after steel and aluminum, and is known as the green engineering material of the 21st century.

[0003] Magnesium resources can be divided into solid ores and liquid ores. Solid ores refer to various non-metallic minerals containing magnesium, such as magnesite, dolomite, brucite, natural brine blocks, etc. Liquid ores refer to magnesium-containing brine resources, such as seawater, salt lake brine, underground brine and well brine. At present, there are two main methods for smelting magnesium metal. One is electrolysis, which is to melt anhydrous magnesium chloride and electrolyze it to obtain metallic magnesium; the other is thermal reduction, also known as Pijiang method, which uses solid ore as raw material and uses ferrosilicon and other reducing agents to thermally reduce magnesium oxide produced by calcination from ore to obtain metallic magnesium. Pijiang method magnesium refining needs to be carried out under high temperature and vacuum conditions. The production process consumes relatively large resources and energy, and the waste discharge is large, the carbon emission is high, and the ecological environment protection risk is high. Therefore, it is an inevitable trend that Pijiang method magnesium refining will be eliminated by the market. The principle of electrolytic magnesium refining is to electrolyze molten anhydrous magnesium chloride at high temperature to decompose it into metallic magnesium and chlorine. The influence of water on the properties of molten salt under high temperature is fatal. Therefore, the preparation of anhydrous magnesium chloride is a key link in electrolytic magnesium refining.

[0004] At present, the preparation technologies of anhydrous magnesium chloride mainly include ammonia complex dehydration method, melt chlorination dehydration method, and dehydration method under hydrogen chloride protective atmosphere. However, the existing preparation processes of anhydrous magnesium chloride have certain shortcomings:

[0005] The ammonia complex dehydration method is still in the research stage and has no industrial application;

[0006] The melt chlorination dehydration method is to place MgCl2 powder (containing MgO and H2O) in a chlorination furnace with chlorine gas at 810℃ for melt chlorination dehydration. It has high energy consumption, large amount of chlorine gas used, and serious environmental pollution.

[0007] The dehydration method under hydrogen chloride protective atmosphere is to evaporate and granulate the MgCl2 solution first, and then pass it through two stages of fluidized bed drying in sequence. After the first stage of fluidized bed drying, dihydrate MgCl2 particles can be obtained. The last stage of fluidized bed is a hydrogen chloride atmosphere, which can suppress the reverse reaction while drying MgCl2. It is the most advanced method for dehydrating magnesium chloride. However, its process flow is long, the dehydration process is difficult to control, and it is prone to problems such as tower plate blockage and powder explosion, which affects the quality of anhydrous magnesium chloride.
