    摘要: A device for creating hollow tubes of crystalline magnesium sulphate sized a micron pertains to the production technology for inorganic micron-scale materials. The device consist of two halogenation tanks, a solar collector, a temperature-controlled crystallization chamber, a centrifuge, a conveyor belt, and a dryer. The solar collector is connected to a heat pipe at the bottom of a brine pool to form a circulation path. Said method is to convert high magnesium brine into saturated brine with a Mg2+:Na+ mass ratio between (8˜15):1 by a brine blending operation at a temperature of 60° C.˜90° C. it is controlled to be cooled and crystallized at a cooling rate of 0.6˜2.0° C./min, solid-liquid centrifugal separation is carried out when it is cooled down to 40˜48.5° C., and the solid phase is dried at a temperature of 48.5˜70° C., and finally micron-sized crystalline magnesium sulfate hollow tubes are obtained.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing sulphur-containing potash granules from fine-particle, potassium-chloride-containing raw materials and elementary sulphur, and to the sulphur-containing potash granules obtained with this method. The method comprises the following steps a) and b): a) mixing a potassium-chloride-containing, fine-particle raw material with a sulphur melt in a quantity of 2 to 30 wt. %, in particular 3 to 25 wt. %, preferably 5 to 23 wt. % and particularly preferably 8 to 20 wt. % in relation to the total amount of sulphur melt and fine-particle raw material, producing a mixture of fine-particle raw material and molten sulphur; and b) compacting the mixture of fine-particle raw material and molten sulphur obtained in step a). The invention also relates to the use of sulphur melts in the production of potassium chloride granules by compacting a potassium-chloride-containing, fine-particle raw material to reduce the pressing force during compacting, and to the use of sulohur melts to improve the mechanical strength of potash granules, containing potassium chloride, in particular potash granules obtained by compacting a sulphur- and potassium-chloride-containing, fine-particle raw material.

    摘要: A novel process for treating pickling acid residue and recovering sulfates and nickel therefrom has been developed. By lowering the pH of a magnesium compound slurry to 4-5.5 with sulfuric acid containing pickling acid residue in the presence of ammonium sulfate, both magnesium sulfate and nickel sulfate are solubilized. Magnesium sulfate and nickel sulfate solution is separated from the solids by filtration and an iron hydroxide and chromium hydroxide residue is obtained as a precipitate. Magnesium sulfate and nickel sulfate are then separated from the solution.

    摘要: There are provided methods for the production of potassium sulphate. The methods comprise contacting an aqueous potassium- and sulphate-containing composition with magnesium chloride (MgCl2), thereby obtaining a composition comprising kainite; optionally concentrating the kainite from the composition; reacting the kainite with magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) and potassium sulphate (K2SO4) so as to convert the kainite into leonite (K2SO4.MgSO4.4H2O); optionally contacting the leonite with water to remove excess MgSO4; and contacting the leonite with water so as to leach the MgSO4, contained in the leonite, and to at least substantially selectively precipitate potassium sulphate (K2SO4). The method according to the invention can be operated at higher temperatures, in particular at temperatures above 35° C. and does not require a cooling step at 20 to 25° C. The method produces potassium sulphate with a low amount of chloride.
