The invention discloses a method for removing
magnesium from an ultralow-quality
phosphate rock and producing
magnesium hydroxide. The method comprises the steps as follows: mixing
phosphate rock
powder with a
magnesium remover for magnesium removal reaction, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, obtaining
solid-
phosphate concentrate, and adding a
neutralization and
sedimentation agent into liquid to obtain a magnesium byproduct. The method is characterized by taking the ultralow-quality phosphate rock as a
raw material and mixed acid of sulphurous acid,
sulfuric acid and
fluorosilicic acid as the magnesium remover, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, mixing washing water for washing a solid phase with a solution obtained after separation, and carrying out
neutralization and
sedimentation reaction. According to the method, mixed acid of sulphurous acid,
sulfuric acid and
fluorosilicic acid is adopted as the magnesium remover, so that the P2O5 loss is reduced; the process
route is short, the operation is simple and the one-time
investment cost is low; the magnesium removal rate can reach more than 80% and the content of magnesium in the obtained concentrate is lower than 1%; and the obtained phosphate concentrate is good in quality, the quality is improved by 5-10%, the P2O5 yield is high and can reach more than 99% under the optimal
process conditions, and the P2O5 content is increased by 3-5% in general.
