The invention relates to a method for preparing
sodium aluminate and co-producing
flame-retardant grade aluminum
hydroxide from secondary aluminum ash, and belongs to the technical field of
solid waste
resource utilization. The method comprises the following steps: proportioning secondary aluminum ash,
bauxite,
sodium carbonate and bluestone according to a specific ratio, ball-milling and mixing, and calcining at a high temperature to obtain a
sodium aluminate clinker; stirring and leaching the clinker and the leaching solution under specific conditions to obtain a
sodium aluminate crude solution and
red mud slag; adding an
impurity removal agent into the
sodium aluminate crude liquid in stages, carrying out normal-pressure and high-temperature stirring reaction, and carrying out ultrasonic-assisted treatment to obtain
sodium aluminate fine liquid; adding a
seed crystal into the sodium
aluminate fine liquid, cooling step by step under a specific stirring condition for
decomposition, and after
decomposition, carrying out ultrasonic washing,
wet grinding,
drying and grading treatment on an aluminum
hydroxide filter cake to obtain
flame-retardant grade aluminum
hydroxide; and concentrating the sodium aluminate fine liquid, desalting, cooling,
drying and crushing to obtain sodium aluminate
solid powder. According to the invention, high-valued utilization of the secondary aluminum ash is realized, the obtained
flame-retardant grade aluminum hydroxide has high whiteness, controllable
granularity and high purity of sodium aluminate, and is suitable for industrial production.
