The invention belongs to the technical field of
metal compound extraction, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a beta-type
beryllium hydroxide crystal. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, a
precipitation reaction does not need to be carried out under a high-temperature boiling condition, cyclic
precipitation is carried out under a low-temperature condition, a product of a previous
precipitation reaction is used as a
seed crystal, and during a next precipitation reaction, because the
solubility of micro crystals is larger than that of coarse-particle crystals, the micro crystals are promoted to be dissolved, and the solution concentration is increased; substances in the solution continue to be separated out on large-particle crystals, large
crystal grains continuously grow up, finally coarse-particle crystals required by the industry are formed, the consumption of
ammonia water is reduced by 70% or above, obtained alpha-type
beryllium hydroxide precipitates are subjected to subsequent
sodium hydroxide solution alkali washing and heat treatment, impurities are removed while post-
crystal-form conversion is conducted, and beta-type
beryllium hydroxide is obtained. According to the method, the harm of
ammonia volatilization to operators is reduced, the
energy consumption can be reduced, and the cost is saved.
