- Na2SO4 IOH2O, Glauber’s salt is a by-product of many hydrometallurgical processes. While useful in certain applications, Na2SO4 has limited market value. Worldwide, Na2SO4 resources are expected to be sufficient to last hundreds of years at the present rate of world consumption. Consequently, the production of this salt leads to an excess supply, resulting in significant waste disposal challenges.
- Gypsum calcium sulfate dihydrate

- chelation/complexation By forming stable complexes, the availability of Ca ions in solution is enhanced, thereby allowing for more effective interaction with sulfate ions and promoting the formation of gypsum.
- Chelating agents also help maintain calcium in a soluble form, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the reaction and ensuring optimal conditions for gypsum precipitation.

- FIG. 1 is an exemplary process flow diagram showing a process for recovering sulfate from an effluent containing an alkali metal sulfate as anhydrous sodium sulfate, performed in accordance with current industry practice.
- FIG. 2 is an exemplary process flow diagram showing a process for recovering sulfate from an effluent containing an alkali metal sulfate as calcium sulfate (gypsum), according to one aspect as described herein. It will be understood that the process shown in FIG. 2 is only illustrative and is non-limiting. Additional process steps to those shown may be added (or removed) as required.
- the conversion of Na SO4 (or I 2SO4) to gypsum can be accomplished by reacting it with, for example, calcium chloride (CaCh) (Eq. 1) or calcium nitrate (Ca(NOa)2) (Eq. 2). Owing to their high solubility of about 74.5 g and 121 g in 100 mL water at 20° C, respectively, these reagents can easily react with Na2SO4 to produce calcium sulfate.
- CaCh calcium chloride
- Ca(NOa)2 calcium nitrate
- U.S. Patent No. 8,273,181 describes a process of removing calcium and obtaining sulfate salts from an aqueous sugar solution.
- Bouzouaid et.al., Cement and Concrete Research, 149(2-3), 106563, 2021 describes the solubility of portlandite in the presence of gluconate, D- sorbitol, D-mannitol and D-galactitol.
- the term “about” means an acceptable error for a particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which depends in part on how the value is measured or determined. In certain aspects, the term “about” means within 1, 2, 3, or 4 standard deviations. In certain aspects, the term “about” means within 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.05% of a given value or range.
- the term “comprising” includes, but is not limited to, those embodiments, for example, an embodiment of any composition of matter, composition, method, or process, or the like, that “consist of’ or “consist essentially of’ the described features.
- the approximating language may correspond to the precision of an instrument for measuring the value.
- the modifier “about” should also be considered as disclosing the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints.
- the expression “from about 2 to about 4” also discloses the range “from 2 to 4.”
- the term “about” may refer to plus or minus 10% of the indicated number.
- “about 10%” may indicate a range of “9 to 11,” and “about 1” may mean from “0.9-1.1.”
- Other meanings of “about” may be apparent from the context, such as rounding off, so, for example “about 1” may also mean from “0.5 to 1.4.”
- FIG. 1 is an exemplary process flow diagram showing a process for recovering sulfate from an effluent containing an alkali metal sulfate as anhydrous sodium sulfate, performed in accordance with current industry practice.
- the current industry practice process of FIG.1 involves providing effluent containing alkali metal sulfates (10). The effluent then undergoes cooling crystallization (S100). The resulting product is then isolated by filtration and washed (S200) to produce Glauber’s salt (NazSCfi- IOH2O) (20). For a process directed to lithium battery (LiB) recycling, a Li recovery process may be performed (S300). The Glauber’s salt (20) is then dissolved (S400) in water and the solution is then subjected to evaporative crystallization (S500). The resulting solid is isolated by filtration (S600) and the sodium sulfate is dried (S700) to product anhydrous sodium sulfate (30).
- FIG. 2 is an exemplary process flow diagram showing a process for recovering sulfate from an effluent containing an alkali metal sulfate as calcium sulfate (gypsum), according to one non-limiting aspect as described herein.
- the non-limiting process of FIG. 2 involves providing effluent containing alkali metal sulfates (11).
- a solution containing a Ca source (such as Ca(OH)2) or CaO) and a chelating agent (21) is added and a solid is formed by precipitation (S101).
- the solid is isolated by filtration and washed (S201) to form wet gypsum (31).
- the filtrate which is a basic solution containing alkali metal hydroxide and/or the residual chelating agent may be recovered and reused (S301).
- the wet gypsum (31) is dried (S401) to afford dry gypsum (41).
- Example 2 a substantial amount of Ca remains unprecipitated. Owing to the alkalinity of the system and knowing that Ca(OH)2 has very poor solubility in water, it was theorized that the residual Ca was still in sucrate form. To test this theory, additional Na2SO4 was added to the solution. After 1 hour of reaction time at 25 0 C, the slurry was filtered using a Whatman 41 filter paper fitted in a Buchner funnel via vacuum filtration. The filtrate was analyzed for Ca, Na and S using ICP-OES. The results are shown in Table 3.
- the resulting filtrate after filtering off the gypsum may be processed via known and suitable methods such as, but not limited to, gravity separation, centrifugation, electrodialysis, nanofiltration, or reverse osmosis to preferentially recover the sucrose solution and alkali hydroxide solution separately for reuse and recycling.
- the slurry is then filtered, washed, and dried to produce the gypsum by-product.
- Ca is then removed from the solution containing residual Ca, NaOH or LiOH, and chelating agent using a process such as, but not limited to, ion exchange and chemical precipitation, prior to separation and recovery of the chelating agent and alkali hydroxides for reuse and recycling.
- the chelating agent and/or alkali hydroxides are recovered by, for example, gravity separation, centrifugation, electrodialysis, nanofiltration, or reverse osmosis.
