Title: | A Cost-effective Process for Production of High Purity Solar Salt in Solar Salt Works |
Area: | Chemical Sciences |
Focus Area: | Production of Solar Salt |
Patent: | AU2006201116, AU2008346089, CA2617677, CN101272837, EP1928569, IN267611, JP5177956, US8021442, US8282690 |
Social Benefits: | Sea brine or sub-soil brine, as the case may be, can be upgraded through the process of the invention to yield improved quality of solar salt with high absolute purity and also with desired Ca2+ to Mg2+ ratio directly in the field.
The process is cost effective as it involves use of inexpensive alum at low dosage level as already reported in the prior art followed by minor adjustment of pH with small quantity of hydrochloric acid which does not add significantly to cost.
The process of the invention can be practiced in any solar salt works regardless of its size and location. |
