摘要:
The present description relates to a process for extracting magnesium compounds from magnesium-bearing ores comprising leaching serpentine tailing with dilute HCl to dissolve the magnesium and other elements like iron and nickel. The residual silica is removed and the rich solution is further neutralized to eliminate impurities and recover nickel. Magnesium chloride is transformed in magnesium sulfate and hydrochloric acid by reaction with sulfuric acid. The magnesium sulfate can be further decomposed in magnesium oxyde and sulphur dioxyde by calcination. The sulphur gas can further be converted into sulfuric acid.

The process for purifying gypsum suspensions, particularly those formed in a flue gas desulfurizing plant, includes feeding the gypsum suspension (9) to a first hydrocyclone (1), which is operated to produce an underflow (11) with a comparatively high underflow concentration and an overflow fed to a collecting tank (2). The underflow (11) of the first hydrocyclone stage is further diluted to a form another underflow with a lower solids content in a suspension tank (3) and then is fed to a second hydrocyclone stage (4), the overflow of which is also fed to the collecting tank (2). Depending on purity of the gypsum required or attained, the gypsum contained in an underflow (14) of the second hydrocyclone stage (4) is either immediately dewatered and removed or is first fed to one or more hydrocyclone stages, which operate analogously. The combined overflows (15) of the first and second or further hydrocyclone stages are fed from the collecting tank (2) to a third hydrocyclone stage (6). In a thickener (8) solid particles are removed from the overflow (17) of the third hydrocyclone (6) and the clear effluent (23), which is an overflow from the thickener (8), is used for diluting in the suspension tank (3).

SULFATE IMPURITIES IN MOLTEN MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE MAY BE RAPIDLY AND EFFECTIVELY REMOVED WITH SIMULTANEOUS PRODUCTION OF MAGNESIUM OXIDE BY DISPERSING FINELY DIVIDED CARBON IN THE MOLTEN MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE PHASE. THE RESULTANT MAGNESIUM OXIDE MAY THEN BE REMOVED BY ALLOWING IT TO SETTLE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MOLTEN BATH AND WITHDRAWING PURIFIED MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE FROM THE UPPER PORTION OF THE BATH.
摘要:
A method for the continuous treatment of material, namely separation of solids dissolved or suspended in a liquid or treatment of humid or dry solid, comprising atomizing the material and contacting it with hot gas to cause decomposition, calcinating or drying, said hot gas being in a zone and forming a turbulent layer between two oppositely flowing currents of gas, at least a major portion of the atomized material passing through the turbulent layer, and a portion of the gas containing the material being withdrawn.

A PROCESS FOR RECOVERING MAGNESIUM VALUES FROM AQUEOUS SALT SOLUTIONS CONTAINING MAGNESIUM AND SULFATE IONS, COMPRISING THE ADDITION THERETO OF SUFFICIENT ALKALI METAL CHLORIDE SALTS, SPECIFICALLY SODIUM AND/OR POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, TO PROVIDE FOR CONVERSION OF ALL OF THE MAGNESIUM VALUES TO MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE AND ALSO TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ALKALI METAL ION TO COMBINE WITH THE SULFATE THE PRESENCE OF STEAM AT ABOUT 500-750*C., PREFERABLY 600-700*C., TO CONVERT THE MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE VALUES TO MAGNESIUM OXIDE WITH EVOLUTION OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE, WATER WASHING THE CALCINATE TO SOLUBILIZE THE SOLUBLE SALTS INCLUDING SALTS OF SODIUM, POTASSIUM, LITHIUM AND BORON, AND SEPARATING THE MAGNESIUM OXIDE FROM THE SOLUBILIZED SALTS. THE MAGNESIUM OXIDE OBTAINED IN THIS WAY IS OF HIGH PURITY AND MAY BE REACTED WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID, SUCH AS THAT EVOLVED FROM THIS PROCESS, TO PRODUCE HIGH PRUITY MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE FOR USE IN THE ELECTROLYTIC PRODUCTION OF MAGNESIUM METAL.

摘要:
The present invention teaches the method to use the sulfate or sulfites based raw materials, such as magnesium, calcium and other alkative earth sulfates or sulfites to produce the respective oxides in a carbon five basis, by using sulfur as the fuel and the reductant. The invention also utilizes renewable energy such as solar thermal or green electricity wherever possible. This approach provides a green process, of ultra-low carbon dioxide emission, for the production of magnesium, other alkaline earth metals and other material which requires alkaline earth oxide, such as in the production of carbon free Portland cement requiring lime. The invention also provides a useful outlet for waste streams leading to sustainable processes. The cost of the production of these precursors are kept low by concurrently producing a saleable by-product—sulfuric-acid.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process of producing magnesia from magnesium-containing carbonate ores, which comprises leaching with sulfuric acid, subsequently neutralizing the solution with magnesia, separating the undissolved impurities, crystallizing magnesium sulfate under pressure and above 150.degree. C so the crystals have from 1.5 to 4 moles of water per magnesium sulfate molecule and thermally decomposing the latter to form magnesia and SO.sub.2, recovering sulfuric acid from the sulfur dioxide produced in the decomposing steps and recycling the sulfuric acid to the leaching stage.
