  • Patent number: 10875783
    Abstract: The present invention relaters to a method for continuously preparing a nano zinc oxide with a membrane reactor. A zinc salt solution and a precipitator solution required for the preparation of a zinc oxide are respectively used as dispersion phases, and under the action of a certain pressure, the two reaction solutions respectively penetrate through a membrane tube at a certain rate and disperse quickly under the action of a shear force and react, producing a precursor precipitate. A precursor suspension penetrates through the membrane tube continuously and circularly after being pressurized by a pump, and at the same time, deionized water as a washing fluid is added to a suspension storage tank, wherein impurity ions penetrate through membrane pores and are discharged along with the liquid medium; after the concentration of the impurity ions meets requirements, the concentrated solution is discharged continuously and then spray-dried to obtain a basic zinc carbonate precursor powder.
