Applying solubility diagrams for recovering sodium sulfate from natural brine. Example of Sebkha El Adhibate
Written by sctunisie no commentsThe transformation of double salts recovered by solar evaporation of natural brine into commercial salts, is frequently a delicate operation. It depends on many parameters: the temperature, the quality of process water, and the composition of raw material. For studying these parameters, a pilot unit is designed and built. The salts to transform are astrakanite [Na2Mg(SO4)2.4H2O] and epsomite [MgSO4.7H2O]. The aim of this study is to design a flow sheet for producing sodium sulfate from a raw material recovered by solar evaporation of Sebkha El Adhibate natural brine.
