The invention discloses a new method for preparing
silicon dioxide by utilizing rice
hull ash, comprising the following steps: neutralizing and dissolving the soluble impurities in the rice
hull ash by utilizing a
sulfuric acid solution; adding an
ammonium fluoride solution in proportion; heating and dissolving to generate
ammonium fluosilicate and
discharge ammonia; modulating the concentration of the
ammonia water to be 10-30wt% by the
ammonia generated in the water recovering reaction; placing into a seal stillpot; regulating the temperature to be 50-90 DEG C; adding the
ammonium fluosilicate solution into the ammonia water in proportion; separating out the
sedimentation;
ageing for 0.5-3h; filtering and performing
solid-liquid separation; returning the filter liquor to a
silicon dissolving procedure for recycling after the filter liquor concentration is adjusted; and washing and
drying the filter cakes to obtain the
silicon dioxide. The method of the invention takes the regenerated resource rice
hull ash as a silicon source, and adopts constant-
voltage low-temperature
liquid phase dissolving silicon; and the reactant
ammonium fluoride and the by-product ammonia can be recycled, which not only saves the
energy consumption and lowers the cost, but also has no other by-product generation and no
greenhouse gas emission, thus belonging to a low-carbon green new process.
