The invention relates to the field of glass chemical strengthening, and discloses a
molten salt purifying agent and a preparation method and application thereof.The
molten salt purifying agent is prepared from, by
mass, 35%-65% of SiO2, 5%-40% of Al2O3, 0-5% of MgO, 20%-45% of Na2O and 0.01%-2% of CeO2; wherein the
mass ratio of the (MgO + CeO2) to the (SiO2 + Al2O3) is 0.001 to 0.1. According to the
molten salt purifying agent provided by the invention, SiO2, Al2O3, MgO, Na2O and CeO2 in a certain proportion are added, the proportion of MgO + CeO2 to SiO2 + Al2O3 is strictly controlled in a specific range, and the effect of each component in purifying molten salt is fully utilized, so that the molten salt purifying agent is high in purification reaction activity and purification efficiency, the phenomena of
softening and purification activity failure of the molten salt purifying agent in the molten salt can be avoided, and the service life of the molten salt purifying agent is prolonged. The stability and the service life of the molten salt purifying agent are improved, the proportion of the molten salt is not affected, the situation that alkaline matter is attached to the surface of glass to affect the
surface flatness of the glass is avoided, the service life of the molten salt can be prolonged, and the consistency of the glass strengthening performance is improved.
