Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical production, and in particular to a production system for reagent-grade aluminum chloride crystals. Background Art
[0002] The current method for preparing aluminum chloride crystals is generally to use hydrochloric acid to dissolve bauxite, fly ash, etc. to obtain an aluminum chloride solution. After the aluminum chloride solution is purified and removed from the impurities, it is evaporated and concentrated, cooled and crystallized, and solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain crystalline aluminum chloride. However, this method has the following problems: 1. The impurity removal technology of the aluminum chloride solution is resin adsorption to remove iron, and other impurity ions (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.) are not removed. The purity of the obtained crystalline aluminum chloride is not high. To meet the purity requirements, subsequent purification treatment is required; 2. The entire crystallization process is complex and requires an evaporation crystallization step. This step is not only energy-intensive but also has high equipment requirements.
[0003] Patent CN107285351A discloses a method for extracting high-purity aluminum chloride by leaching fly ash with hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen chloride gas is introduced into the fly ash and hydrochloric acid leachate, causing the aluminum chloride in the leachate to crystallize into aluminum chloride hexahydrate crystals and precipitate. This crystallization process can be carried out at room temperature, reducing energy consumption and overcoming the high energy consumption of the prior art evaporation and concentration crystallization process for aluminum chloride. Furthermore, by directly introducing hydrogen chloride gas into the leachate and crystallizing aluminum chloride crystals at room temperature, impurity ions (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.) can be retained in the residual liquid, overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art, such as complex impurity removal processes such as resin adsorption for iron removal, and the inability to remove other impurity ions (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.).
[0004] Although the prior art discloses that the use of hydrogen chloride gas to prepare crystalline aluminum chloride can obtain relatively high-purity aluminum chloride crystals at room temperature, the relevant research focuses on the method step of using hydrogen chloride for crystallization. There is no relevant technology that discloses how to introduce hydrogen chloride gas into the process system, or how to design the process system so that hydrogen chloride gas can be used to obtain ultra-high-purity crystalline aluminum chloride that meets reagent-grade standards.
