Abstract

The results of studying the processes of forming calcium hydroxide transportation suspensions and their neutralization by nitrate acid with the development of energy­saving technologies of obtaining calcium nitrate were presented.

As a result of the research, the process of calcium oxide hydration in the calcium nitrate solution was substantiated and the mechanism of the suspension thickening was proposed.

The limit lime concentrations in the calcium nitrate solutions were established, the process of calcium oxide hydration in these solutions was theoretically calculated. The mechanism of thickening of the prepared suspension (suspension of Са(ОН)2 in Са(NO3)2 solution), based on the formation of hydrogen bonds due to the presence of oxygen with unfilled orbitals, was explored.

The degree of CaO conversion (kinetics of hydration) depending on the time and the intensity of mixing in 35 % solution of calcium nitrate, which increases from 0.67 to 0.89 o. n. with an increase in the intensity of mixing Re=1000÷13000 was established. The limit of the lime content for different concentrations of Са(NO3)2) was defined: for 15 %­solution of calcium nitrate, the highest possible lime concentration on conversion to СаО is 350 g/dm3, for 20 %­solution, it is 320 g/dm3, for 25 %­solution, it is 295 g/dm3, for 30 %­solution, it is 275 g/dm3, for 35 %­solution – 240 g/dm3 and for 40 %­solution, it is 200 g/dm3, respectively.

The results of the experimental research presented in the form of graphical dependencies and tabular data may be used for the improvement of existing and design of the new production facilities of calcium nitrate.
