The invention provides a method for reducing the
sulfur content of
ferric oxide prepared from
ferrous sulfate, and relates to the technical field of
inorganic chemical material preparation, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, adopting a two-stage crushing process of mechanical
grinding and
airflow crushing to preliminarily refine the particle size of a
raw material from 50-100 microns to 20-30 microns (D50); s2, an external heating type
rotary kiln is adopted for heating and calcining, the temperature in the
kiln is monitored and controlled in real time, the temperature of a calcining area is controlled to be 820 + / -10 DEG C, and it is ensured that the
decomposition rate of
ferrous sulfate is larger than or equal to 99.5%; s3, 0.4 MP
superheated steam is introduced into the
rotary kiln through a steam generator, the steam reacts with hydroxyl groups on the surfaces of the FeSO4 particles, active sites are formed, the
sulfur escape rate is increased, and the interior of the
kiln is kept in a micro-negative pressure state through a
kiln tail fan; and S4, primarily cooling and collecting the calcined product, and collecting most
ferric oxide particles. According to the method, the
sulfur content in the product is greatly reduced, the product purity is improved, the production period is shortened, and the comprehensive
energy consumption is reduced.
