This invention relates to a method for recovering
ammonium components during the production of
sodium bicarbonate from
sodium sulfate, belonging to the field of
chemical production technology. The
recovery method includes: pretreating a
crystallization mother liquor containing
sodium sulfate,
ammonium sulfate,
ammonium bicarbonate, and
diammonium carbonate, then mixing it with
sodium sulfate and crystallizing to obtain a liquid-
solid mixture; separating fine particles from coarse crystals in the liquid-
solid mixture to obtain a coarse
crystal slurry and a
slurry containing fine particles, respectively; performing
solid-liquid separation on the obtained coarse
crystal slurry to obtain a
double salt and a filtrate; and mixing the obtained
double salt with a solution for washing to obtain solid
sodium sulfate and a solution of
ammonium sulfate. The
recovery method provided by this invention has advantages such as a short process flow, simple operation, and no environmental
pollution risk. This method not only avoids high-temperature
ammonia stripping and low-temperature freezing processes, reducing investment and operating costs and
energy consumption, but also improves the
ammonia recovery rate and enhances
raw material utilization efficiency.
