The invention discloses a method for preparing
sodium pyroantimonate by using waste
antimony pentachloride as a
raw material. The method comprises the following steps of A, an extraction step, wherein a waste
antimony pentachloride catalyst is extracted by using
industrial water to obtain an organic phase and an inorganic phase, the inorganic phase is separated to obtain an
antimony ion containing water solution, and the volume ratio of the waste catalyst to the
industrial water is 1:0.5-1:2; B, an oxidation step, wherein the antimony
ion containing water solution is oxidized by using
hydrogen peroxide to obtain antimony oxidation liquid, and the
hydrogen peroxide water using amount is 1-2 times of the theoretic using amount; and C, a
neutralization step, wherein
neutralization reaction on the antimony oxidation liquid is carried out by using
sodium hydroxide water solution, a pH value of the reaction liquid is regulated to be between 7 and 13, and after the reaction is carried out for 10-300 minutes at 50-90 DEG C, cooling, filtering, washing and
drying are performed to obtain
sodium pyroantimonate. The method has the advantages of simple process, low
material consumption, low cost, good quality of the product and environmental friendliness; the
extraction ratio of antimony is more than 99.2 percent, and the highest is 99.85 percent; and the total yield of antimony is more than 98 percent, and the highest is 99.65 percent.
