Сold polyhalite decomposition

https://doi.org/10.29235/1561-8331-2025-61-4-348-352

Abstract

The leaching of calcined and washed with water and liquor polyhalite – free from sodium chloride – at ambient temperature is studied. The influence of contact time, leaching liquor concentration, and the ratio of polyhalite to leaching liquor on the extraction of salts consti-tuting polyhalite into the solution is shown. It is shown that as a result of polyhalite cold decomposition, the calcined polyhalite is sepa-rated into a precipitate containing potassium sulfate in the form of syngenite and liquor, which can be used to obtain magnesium sulfate in the future.
