  • Patent number: 5605669
    Abstract: This invention relates to the preparation of cesium salts from cesium-aluminum-alum in a process in which the cesium-aluminum-alum is reacted in a single vessel in the presence of water with calcium hydroxide in an amount which is equimolar to the amount of aluminum and with a readily water-soluble calcium salt in an amount which is equimolar to the amount of cesium and the precipitated aluminum hydroxide and the precipitated calcium sulfate are separated by filtration or centrifugation.
