Background technology
Magnesium is the lightest structural metal, can constitute the high-strength alloy of excellent property with other metal, has purposes and vast potential for future development widely.China's Qinghai Salt Lake Bittern solubility magnesium salts aboundresources, only the magnesium chloride reserves promptly reach 31.43 hundred million tons, and these developments of resources are good, make good use of, and bring into play it to greatest extent and be worth, be highly significant.Realize effective utilization of this precious resources, a maximum difficult problem is how to remove the crystal water that magnesium chloride has, and prepares highly purified Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.
The production of metal current magnesium has the electrolytic process of electrolysis Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous and comprises the hot reducing method of Pidgeon process, synthesis by internal resistance electric melting and semi-continuous process, two kinds of methods relatively, electrolytic process is than the hot reducing method advanced technology, the resource utilization height, the product foreign matter content is few, is the developing direction of production MAGNESIUM METAL.
The technology of producing both at home and abroad Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous can be divided into two classes, and a class is to utilize the principle of chemical equilibrium, feeds the hydrolysis that hydrogen chloride gas or chlorine suppresses hydrated magnesium chloride when adding hot brine and obtains Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous thereby adopt.Another kind of is ammoniation process, is about to hydrated magnesium chloride and is dissolved in the organic solvent, removes from this solvent and anhydrates, and alcoholic solution and precipitation agent reaction formation magnesium chloride complex compound by this Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous heat this magnesium chloride complex compound and produce Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.This method also claims " ammoniation process ".
Disclose ammoniation process in the US2381995 patent of nineteen forty-two M.W.Kellogg company, the preferred primary isoamyl alcohol of this method as precipitation agent, generates magnesium chloride hex-ammoniate with ammonia as the solvent that is used to form hydrated magnesium chloride solution, and promptly molecular formula is MgCl
26NH
3, reheat promptly obtains Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous.But the magnesium chloride of this method is dehydration fully not, when its reason is the alcoholic solution of the hydrated magnesium chloride that heats in order to dewater, temperature about the boiling point of used alcohol can not be removed and anhydrate, and after this many people have adopted the different solvents and the different precipitator method, but effect is all undesirable.Reason is after the magnesium chloride that contains crystal water adds in the organic solvent, the coordination reaction that solvent molecule replaces water takes place, thereby slough the coordinated water molecule, but all alcohols to replace all unusual difficulties of latter two water molecules, if increase alcohol adding amount, then need a large amount of alcohol, anhydrate as adopting distillation method to remove from solution, its difficulty is very big, because alcohol and water evaporates together when boiling, also do not remove when very low at moisture, the boiling point of solution increases, this moment MgCl
2Again and the water that stays reaction and decomposing.On the other hand, dephlegmate not only needs big energy, also cause the alcoholic solution of magnesium chloride to become sticky thick, produce wax shape precipitation, and carry a large amount of alcohol secretly, precipitate and separate and washing are made troubles, after closing with ammino, the alcoholic solution of the magnesium chloride of band water can not obtain the high purity magnesium chloride hex-ammoniate, and hydrolysis in the deamination process, can not obtain meeting the Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous of electrolysis requirement behind the deamination, this shows that above-mentioned method realizes that industrialization has a lot of difficulties.
