    1. RESEARCH GROUP

    Mineralization of Salt Lake Brine and Green Clean Technology Research

     

    2. BRIEF INTRODUCTION

    Our group is pursuing studies of the clean-mineralization technology of salt lake resources, based on the local natural conditions in salt lake district. According to the ecological vulnerability in Tibetan plateau, novel approaches for clean production processes are successfully developed for lithium carbonate, lithium sulfate, boron mineral, magnesium and boron mineral, sylvite, carnallite and other high-quality minerals, only depending on salt fields and solar energy. Li2CO3 concentrate has been sold commercially. In our group, purification techniques for low-grade saline minerals are obtained. Fine chemical production techniques of whisker series products and the separation and extraction methods for Rb, Cs, Br2, I2 and other scattered elements are possessed. Our group is also qualified to receive doctoral students in inorganic chemistry and analytical chemistry research fields.

     

     

    The traditional chromium salt production technology has huge drawbacks such as large waste discharge, low resource utilization and low automation. It has been ranked first long among the country's high pollution industries. We have invented and developed series of electrochemical methods for preparing chromium products in clean ways with ferrochrome as the raw material, including preparation of sodium chromate through electrochemical oxidation and preparation of sodium dichromium and chromic anhydride through electrocatalytic synthesis. Complete utilization of chromium, cyclic utilization of sodium and value raise of iron could be realized with the new technologies which have already been or will be further applied in industry when both the hydrogen and oxygen gas generating during electrolysis has high economic value.
