Keywords:
Double salt conversion; Potassium sulfate; Dissolution kinetics; Selective precipitation; Liquid-solid equilibrium.Abstract
This comprehensive study investigates the conversion process of double salt K₂SO₄·(NH₄)₂SO₄ into high-purity potassium sulfate through controlled dissolution and selective precipitation mechanisms. The research focuses on optimizing the conversion parameters to achieve maximum potassium sulfate yield while minimizing impurity incorporation and byproduct formation. Experimental investigations were conducted using double salt obtained from the interaction of flotation potassium chloride with ammonium sulfate solutions under precisely controlled conditions.
