1.3 Synthetic Route

1. Add three times the amount of distilled water to the industrial sodium carbonate, heat, stir to dissolve, add an appropriate amount of sodium sulfide according to the total amount of Pb2+, Cu2+, As2O3 contained in the raw materials, stir thoroughly, stand, and filter after PbS, CuS, As2O3 is completely precipitated. In the clear filtrate, add the total volume of 1% hydrogen peroxide and 0.1% activated carbon, and add sodium oxalate according to the Ca2+ seed content in the raw material, stir well, heat to boiling, and filter while hot. The clear filtrate is evaporated and concentrated until the crystalline film is formed, the heating is stopped, the crystallization is cooled, and the centrifugation is centrifuged to obtain the analysis of pure crystalline sodium carbonate. To prepare high-grade pure crystalline sodium carbonate, only the above finished product needs to be recrystallized once.
