The invention relates to a preparation method of high-purity cesium
carbonate, which comprises the following steps: by taking pollucite as a
raw material, leaching with
sulfuric acid, cooling and crystallizing to obtain crude cesium
alum, recrystallizing to obtain high-purity cesium
alum, adding at least one of cesium salt or cesium solution of which the cesium
molar weight is greater than the aluminum
molar weight in the production process in the recrystallization process, removing aluminum, converting, purifying and removing impurities, thereby obtaining the high-purity cesium
carbonate. And carrying out
evaporation concentration and
carbonization crystallization to obtain high-purity cesium
bicarbonate, and finally
drying and decomposing to obtain a high-purity cesium
carbonate product. Compared with a conventional method for preparing cesium carbonate through extracting cesium from pollucite and a conventional method for preparing high-purity cesium carbonate through an extraction method, the method has the advantages that the product purity is greatly improved, the content of cesium carbonate is larger than or equal to 99.999% wt in terms of Cs2CO3, the total amount of impurities including Li, Na, K, Rb, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, SiO2 and heavy
metal (in terms of Pb) is smaller than or equal to 0.001% wt, and especially the content of the same-main-group
impurity Rb is smaller than or equal to 0.0001% wt.
