The invention relates to a high-energy planetary ball-milling thermochemical purification method for preparing high-purity silica
powder from cobblestones. The invention provides an innovative process based on a wet mechanochemical effect to solve the industrial problems that traditional silica
powder raw materials mostly depend on high-quality quartzite or high-purity
silicon ore, so that cost is high, resources are short, and cobblestones are difficult to use in a high-valued mode due to high
impurity content and high compactness. And in cooperation with high-concentration ore pulp, differential
dissolution of
impurity ions occurs. The process comprises the steps of
raw material pretreatment, first-stage high-energy ball milling
dealkalization and
iron removal, intermediate washing, second-stage high-energy ball milling deep dealumination, post-treatment and the like. In the first stage, iron,
potassium and
sodium ions on the surface are preferentially removed by using an
organic acid system, and in the second stage, an
aluminosilicate skeleton is destroyed by using a
fluorine-containing auxiliary agent for deep dealumination, so that the technical
bottleneck that impurities such as iron and aluminum in the cobblestones are difficult to deeply remove is solved. The SiO2 purity of the silica
powder prepared by the technology can reach 99%-99.9%, and the method opens up a new path for efficient utilization of the cobblestones.
