This invention relates to a method for producing low-
zinc rongalite. The method comprises: mixing water and
zinc powder, beating, adding SO2, reacting to obtain
zinc hydrosulfite, placing in a reaction pot, adding
formaldehyde and zinc
powder, reacting to obtain alkaline
sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, precipitating, removing the supernatant, adding NaOH, reacting to obtain
sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, filtering, standing for settlement, cooling, adjusting the pH value, performing
ultrafiltration, mixing, adding NaOH, sending into an
evaporator, evaporating to obtain melt of low-zinc
sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, cooling, solidifying, and pulverizing to obtain the final product. The obtained low-zinc
rongalite can satisfy the requirements of pharmaceutical and plastic industries. The zinc content is less than or equal to 50 ppm. The low-zinc
rongalite has such advantages as high purity, high stability, low production cost and convenient usage.
