Abstract: The present invention is an improved method for crystallizing inorganic salts. The inorganic salts that are suitable for this process are characterized by the fact that they form isothermic or polythermic concave solubility curves. Each concave solubility curve represents saturated concentrations of the salt that is desired to be purified versus either concentrations of a second, different inorganic salt or versus temperature.
Abstract: A simple, efficient and inexpensive method of purifying magnesium sulfate from mixtures of epsomite and halite. The method allows for the preparation of substantially pure magnesium sulfate products. The method generally involves heating a mixture of epsomite and halite to form clusters of lower hydrated magnesium sulfate crystals and subsequently applying slight pressure to the clusters so that they collapse to yield fine, less hydrated magnesium sulfate crystals which can then be easily separated from the comparatively coarse halite crystals. The less hydrated magnesium sulfate crystals can be recrystallized to provide highly purified epsomite which can then be dehydrated to provide kieserite or anhydrous magnesium sulfate.
