Abstract
This work shows the possibility of obtaining potassium sulfate by converting phosphogypsum and potassium carbotane by the reaction CaSO4 + K2CO3 → ↓ CaCO3 + K2SO4. The optimal conditions for this process are determined. It is shown that in an aqueous medium at a temperature of 20 °C, a stoichiometric ratio of the initial components, the rotation speed of the stirrer 200 rpm for 15-30 min, the degree of use of Ca2+ ions is 94-95 %. Potassium sulfate contained in the liquid phase is transferred into the solid phase by evaporation and subsequent crystallization.
