Abstract:

Underground brine in Zigong contains rich sodium,magnesium,lithium bromide,strontium,etc.It can be used to produce raw salt,magnesium salt,bromine and other industrial products,which is an important liquid mineral resource for the alkali industry and salt industry.In response to the characteristics of rich strontium in underground brine in Zigong and the current status of salt production technology,strontium rich salt was developed.By optimizing oxalic acid as brine purifying agents,calcium and magnesium were removed from brine,and more strontium was retained.The optimized brine purification process was as follows:adding 5.2 mL of oxalic acid with concentration of 0.7 mol/L at a constant rate of 5 mL/min to 100 mL of brine at 45 ℃,adjusting the pH to 8.0,stirring for 30 min,adding 0.3 mL of polyacrylamide with mass concentration of 2 g/L and molecular weight of 8 million,allowing the final solution to stand for 1 h.The strontium content in the table salt(100 g dry basis) prepared by high-temperature evaporation of purified brine obtained by optimizing the process was 37.5 mg,which was 20 times of the strontium content in the currently available table salt.The strontium salts and other index requirements complied with the national standard(GB 2721—2015).The new process realized the comprehensive utilization of strontium in Zigong brine,and also provided citizens with the choice of strontium rich functional salts.

Key words: underground brine, purification, strontium, table salt
