The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for continuous conversion production of
sodium nitrate, and belongs to the technical field of production of
inorganic chemical engineering products. The method mainly comprises the processes of
mother liquor pre-conversion, conversion absorption and
tail gas separation. The
system of the apparatus mainly comprises a conversion absorption
tower, a converter, an absorption separator, a matching pump and a matching pipeline, and the conversion absorption
tower is a packed
tower, and comprises an upper portion pre-conversion segment, a middle portion conversion absorption segment and a lower portion solution
storage tank; and a conversion solution obtained after pre-conversion and conversion reactions of a mixed
mother liquor and a circulating solution enters the solution
storage tank, parts of the conversion solution returns to the conversion absorption tower through a conversion
circulating pump, the remaining conversion solution is pumped into the converter in order to produce
solid sodium nitrate, and generated
tail gas is sent to a 4# alkali absorption tower, and is absorbed to produce
sodium nitrite. The method and the apparatus optimize technological operation, improve the
sodium nitrite conversion rate and the qualified rate of
sodium nitrate, enlarge the productivity, reduce the production cost, realize continuous and automatic production of
sodium nitrate and are in favor of realizing energy saving and emission reduction.
