  • Patent number: 11851340
    Abstract: A method for preparing potassium chloride from carnallite includes: carrying out high-temperature water solution mining treatment on carnallite with fresh water to obtain potassium-rich saturated brine; mixing the potassium-rich saturated brine, a sylvine saturated solution, and bittern for mixing brine, evaporation and decomposition to obtain artificial sylvine; and carrying out low-temperature selective dissolution treatment on the artificial sylvine with fresh water to prepare potassium chloride. The carnallite is mined by using hot water, which reduces the content of sodium chloride in the potassium-rich saturated brine; artificial sylvine is only subjected to low-temperature selective dissolution once, which avoids unnecessary energy consumption and impurity accumulation unnecessary for multifold cycles of thermal dissolution-cold crystallization treatment of sylvine while guaranteeing the high yield and high quality of potassium chloride.
