AI Technical Summary
The existing sulfate mineral decomposition process is time-consuming, energy-intensive, and difficult, resulting in uncontrollable production costs and uneconomical products, which seriously restricts the development of the industry.
By employing a pre-ammoniation treatment device and an airlift circulating reactor, the special physical and chemical properties of ammonia are utilized to decompose sulfate minerals under low-temperature conditions. The pre-ammoniation treatment shortens the main reaction time, neutralizes the acidity of impurities, and improves the crystal morphology and slurry uniformity. Combined with the airlift circulating reactor, the gas-liquid-solid mass transfer is enhanced, the reaction temperature is controlled, and the closed-loop utilization of gas and slurry is achieved.
This technology enables the efficient decomposition of sulfate minerals at low temperatures, generating high-value-added products such as ammonium sulfate and calcium carbonate. It significantly improves reaction rate and conversion rate, reduces energy consumption, minimizes side reactions, enhances product purity and yield, realizes the high-value utilization of industrial solid waste, and eliminates carbon dioxide.
