The invention belongs to the technical field of
zirconium oxychloride preparation, and relates to a method and device for alkali fusion
continuous production in the
zirconium industry, and the method comprises the following steps: in a
closed space, adding a certain amount of
alkali metal hydroxide into an alkali fusion pan, preheating for 10-20 minutes at 350-450 DEG C, then heating for 10-40 minutes at 550-650 DEG C, and then cooling to
room temperature to obtain the
zirconium oxychloride. The method comprises the following steps of: adding
zircon sand into an alkali fusion pot according to the ore-alkali
mass ratio of 1: (1.2-1.5), adding the
zircon sand for 10-20 minutes, keeping the temperature at 600-650 DEG C for 20-60 minutes, and finally cooling the alkali fusion pot to 50 DEG C within 120-240 minutes. The device comprises a
tunnel kiln, and a preheating section, a heating section, a feeding section, a heat preservation section and a cooling section are arranged in the
tunnel kiln. According to the invention, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced, the
working environment can be improved, and the production efficiency and the
zircon sand conversion rate can be improved.
