The invention relates to the field of
sodium sulfite production, in particular to
sodium sulfite and a refining method thereof.The method comprises the steps that S1, a
sodium sulfite crude product is dissolved,
solid impurities are removed, filtrate is obtained, and the
sodium sulfite crude product comprises one or more of
impurity sodium sulfate,
sodium phenolate organic matter and
solid impurities; s2, adjusting the pH value of the filtrate to be less than or equal to 9, then contacting with an extraction agent for extraction, and separating to obtain a water phase and an
oil phase; s3, carrying out first concentration
crystallization on the water phase, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a first
crystal solid and a first
crystal filtrate; s4, dissolving the first
crystal solid, carrying out second cooling
crystallization, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a second crystal solid and a second crystal filtrate; and S5, carrying out third
crystallization water removal crystallization on the second crystallization solid, carrying out solid-liquid separation, washing to obtain a
sodium sulfite wet finished product and a third crystallization filtrate, and
drying the
sodium sulfite wet finished product. The color and the purity of the sodium sulfite product can be improved, and the obtained product meets the industrial standard.
