Can anhydrous sodium sulfate be prepared by evaporation crystallization method? Today, I will briefly introduce how anhydrous sodium sulfate is prepared by evaporation crystallization.

一、無水硫酸鈉的應用

1、 Application of anhydrous sodium sulfate

無水硫酸鈉又名元明粉，廣泛用于生產硫化鈉、水玻璃和群青等還可用于制造玻璃、造紙、洗滌﹒劑、肥皂、染料、合成纖維、制革、醫(yī)藥和陶瓷等行業(yè)，是一種重要的化工原料。

Anhydrous sodium sulfate, also known as Yuanming powder, is widely used in the production of sodium sulfide, water glass and ultramarine. It can also be used in the manufacturing of glass, paper, detergent, soap, dye, synthetic fiber, leather, medicine and ceramics. It is an important chemical raw material.

二、無水硫酸鈉的生產方法

2、 Production method of anhydrous sodium sulfate

常見的生產無水硫酸鈉的方法有芒硝脫水法、轉化法、副產法、鈣芒硝法等。芒硝脫水法又分為全溶蒸發(fā)脫水法、熱融脫水法以及熱融鹽析脫水法。

Common methods for producing anhydrous sodium sulfate include mirabilite dehydration method, conversion method, by-product method, calcium mirabilite method, etc. Mirabilite dehydration method can be divided into total solution evaporation dehydration method, hot melt dehydration method and hot melt salting out dehydration method.

三、無水硫酸鈉蒸發(fā)結晶設備選型

3、 Selection of evaporation crystallization equipment for anhydrous sodium sulfate

目前常見的無水硫酸鈉蒸發(fā)結晶設備，一般會采用DTB（導流筒—擋板）型結晶器并用真空蒸發(fā)結晶法直接從工業(yè)粗制芒硝中結晶出無水硫酸鈉。

At present, the common anhydrous sodium sulfate evaporation crystallization equipment generally uses DTB (draft tube baffle) crystallizer and uses vacuum evaporation crystallization method to directly crystallize anhydrous sodium sulfate from industrial crude mirabilite.

采用DTB型結晶器+真空蒸發(fā)結晶法，該方法具有流程短、設備少、投資小、產品粒度、純度易控制等優(yōu)點。

DTB crystallizer + vacuum evaporation crystallization method is adopted. This method has the advantages of short process, less equipment, small investment, easy control of product particle size and purity, etc.

DTB型結晶器的構造如下：

The structure of DTB type crystallizer is as follows:

它的中部有一導流筒，在四周有一圓筒形擋板，在導流筒內接近下端處有螺旋槳，以較低的轉速旋轉﹐懸浮液在螺旋槳的推動下，在筒內上升至液體表層，然后轉向下方，沿導流筒與擋板之間的環(huán)行通道流至器底，重又被吸入導流筒的下端，如此往復循環(huán)，形成接近良好混合的條件．圓筒形擋板將結晶器分割為晶體生長區(qū)和澄清區(qū)，擋板與器壁間的環(huán)隙為澄清區(qū)，其攪拌的影響已經消失。

There is a guide cylinder in the middle of the guide cylinder and a cylindrical baffle around it. There is a propeller near the lower end of the guide cylinder, which rotates at a lower speed. The suspension is pushed by the propeller, rises to the liquid surface layer in the cylinder, then turns downward, flows to the bottom of the device along the circular channel between the guide cylinder and the baffle, and is sucked into the lower end of the guide cylinder again. In this way, The cylindrical baffle divides the crystallizer into a crystal growth zone and a clarification zone. The annular gap between the baffle and the wall of the crystallizer is a clarification zone, and the influence of stirring has disappeared.

要使晶體得以從母液中沉降分離，只有過量的微晶可隨母液在澄清區(qū)的頂部排出器外，從而實現(xiàn)對微晶量的控制，結晶器的上部為氣液分離空間，用于防止霧沫夾帶，熱的濃物料加至導流筒的下方，晶漿由結晶器的底部排出.為了使所生產的晶體具有更窄的粒度分布，這種形式的結晶器在下部設有淘析腿。

In order to settle and separate the crystals from the mother liquor, only excess microcrystals can be discharged from the top of the clarifier along with the mother liquor, so as to control the amount of microcrystals. The upper part of the crystallizer is a gas-liquid separation space to prevent entrainment of mist. Hot concentrated materials are added to the lower part of the draft tube, and the crystal slurry is discharged from the bottom of the crystallizer In order to produce crystals with a narrower particle size distribution, this type of crystallizer is provided with elutriation legs at the lower part.

無水硫酸鈉可以采用蒸發(fā)結晶法制備是一種比較好的方式。
