The invention relates to a method for preparing submicron lamellar
magnesium hydroxide by intensifying alkali, comprising the following steps of: mixing
magnesium oxide, the alkali, a dispersing agent and water into
slurry according to a certain proportion; carrying out mechanical and
chemical treatment to prepare the
slurry used for
crystallization; carrying out hydrothermal
crystallization; carrying out
solid-liquid separation on a product, and washing and
drying a
solid to obtain submicron lamellar
magnesium hydroxide powder. In the invention, filter liquor can be recycled; the
hydrolysis of the magnesium
oxide and the
nucleation of the magnesium
hydroxide are promoted by utilizing mechanical and chemical action and alkali intensifying action, the shape and the growth of a magnesium hydroxide
crystal is regulated and controlled through the hydrothermal
crystallization, and no alkali is consumed in the process; as the magnesium
oxide is used as a
raw material and an alkalizing mechanical and
chemical treatment-hydrothermal crystallization process is adopted, the preparation process flow of the submicron high-dispersion lamellar magnesium hydroxide is shortened, the consumption of the alkali used for a process for preparing the magnesium hydroxide by precipitating soluble
magnesium salt and the cost input are decreased, and the hydrothermal crystallization process does not generate any
side product like chemical salt and is a clean production process; and in addition, the obtained submicron lamellar magnesium hydroxide is widely used in the fields of
flame-retardant and catalytic carriers and other functional materials.
