Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of potassium chloride production, and more particularly to a device for recovering refined potassium in the potassium chloride production process. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of chemical production, potassium chloride is an extremely important product with a wide range of uses. It is mainly used as a fertilizer and plays a key role in improving crop yield and quality in agricultural production. At the same time, potassium chloride is also an important raw material for the manufacture of many other chemical products, such as potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, potassium chlorate, and other potassium salts, and caustic potash, etc. These potassium salts have indispensable applications in many industrial sectors such as chemical glass, medicine, textiles, papermaking, matches, explosives, and fireworks.

[0003] Currently, the production process of potassium chloride mostly uses brine after salt production as raw material and adopts the method of mixing brine for production. The basic process is (such as Figure 3 ) first mix the brine after salt production with the carnallite mother liquor and by-product brine generated in the system, discharge the mixed brine during this process, then the clear liquid enters the evaporation system for evaporation and concentration to obtain a complete liquid, and then the complete liquid is subjected to heat preservation and sedimentation separation, and the liquid phase is then crystallized and precipitated by cooling to obtain carnallite (KCl・MgCl・6H2O). The carnallite is finally obtained by a series of operations such as water decomposition and washing to obtain finished potassium chloride. However, in the existing production process, there is a prominent problem, i.e., the extraction rate of potassium chloride production single line is low (such as Figure 2 ). This not only leads to waste of raw material resources and increases production cost, but also limits the production efficiency and market competitiveness of enterprises to some extent. How to invent a device for recovering refined potassium in the potassium chloride production process to improve these problems has become a problem to be solved by technical personnel in the field.
