The invention relates to a method used for preparing light
magnesium carbonate. The invention belongs to the field of ultra-fine particle preparation. First, a
magnesium chloride solution is heated to a temperature of 50-90 DEG C, and the solution is added into a
hypergravity reactor; simultaneously, a
mixed gas containing NH3 and CO2 gases is delivered into the reactor; the solution contacts the
mixed gas by a
counter current manner in the reactor; the solution is circularly fed, and a circulated mixed absorbing reaction of MH3 and CO2 is carried out in the
hypergravity reactor; after the reaction, the solution is filtered, and
ammonia ions and
chloride ions are removed by washing by using deionized water; the obtained material is dried by baking under a temperature of 110 DEG C, such that light
magnesium carbonate is prepared. The concentration of magnesium
chloride is 0.1-1mol / L, the operation pressure is normal pressure which is 1atm, and the
hypergravity level is 118-600g. With the method provided by the invention, rapid, microscopic, and uniform mixing can be realized, such that a homogeneous
nucleation condition required by the preparation of light magnesium
carbonate can be reached. According to the invention, the process is easy to control, and aging is not required. The method provided by the invention is advantaged in simple technology and high efficiency. The method can easily be applied in large-scale productions.
