The invention discloses low-
viscosity iron oxide yellow. A preparation method of the
iron oxide yellow comprises the steps that
ferrous sulfate and
sodium hydroxide are reacted at the temperature of 25-35 DEG C to prepare
ferric oxide yellow
seed crystal, the prepared
seed crystal is placed into a high-pressure reaction kettle, meanwhile, the temperature is increased to 70 DEG C, at the moment, air pressure in the reaction kettle is the same as that of the outside world, a
sodium hydroxide solution with the concentration of 8-12 mol / L is added when the temperature reaches 70 DEG C, the added alkaline liquid amount is determined based on the pH value, adding of alkaline liquid is stopped when pH reaches 3.8-4.2, a valve of the high-pressure reaction kettle is turned off after the pH reaches the specific value, the high-pressure reaction kettle is pressurized through a high-pressure
air pump, air is continuously pumped into the reaction kettle from the bottom through the high-pressure pump in the reaction process, meanwhile, air is exhausted from the top of the reaction kettle to ensure that sufficient
oxygen participates in reaction, the
system air pressure is controlled to be about 1.2-1.7 MPa, the
reaction temperature is 70 DEG C, the reaction time is controlled to be 12-14 h, and finally rinsing, suction
filtration,
drying and smashing are carried out, so that the low-
viscosity iron oxide yellow is obtained.
