Abstract: There are the problems of high energy consumption and high carbon emission in the production technology of edible potassium chloride by evaporation crystallization process.1 t edible potassium chloride product will consume 2 t steam, and 80% of the steam consumption is in the crystallization process of potassium chloride.In order to solve these problems, DTB crystallizer and MVR steam compressor technologies were used on the process.Results showed that: compared with the original technology,crystallization process realized steam zero consumption after the transformation;the total steam consumption was reduced to 0.4 t,and steam consumption reduced by 80%;280 Yuan cost was saved per 1 t product; with an annual output of 10 000 t edible potassium chloride, annual cost savings of production system was up to 2.8 million Yuan;at the same time,carbon dioxide emission also reduced by more than 80%,and therefore the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction was achieved.
