A method for preparing high-purity
chromic oxide and by-product
sodium 3-picolinate by recycling
chromium-containing waste comprises the following steps: adding
chromium-containing waste residues and
chromium-containing
sodium hydrogen sulfate into water, stirring, adding 3-methylpyridine, stirring to obtain a mixed material, adding the mixed material into a reaction kettle, stirring, and heating for reaction; recovering unreacted
azeotrope of 3-methylpyridine and water after the reaction is finished, condensing the recovered material to obtain 3-methylpyridine, returning the 3-methylpyridine, cooling the reaction kettle after the
recovery is finished, and pressing the material into a reaction
liquid storage tank by using
compressed air; filtering the feed liquid in the reaction
liquid storage tank to obtain a filtrate and a
filter cake, washing and filtering the
filter cake to obtain hydrated chromium
hydroxide, and recycling the washing liquid as recycled water; and calcining the hydrated chromium
hydroxide at high temperature to obtain
chromium oxide. The chromium-containing waste is adopted as the
raw material,
discharge of the chromium-containing waste is reduced, and the method has important economic and environment-friendly significance. The product in the process can be recycled, so that the method is more environment-friendly.
