Different methods for the preparation of high purity NaAlClare disclosed. The methods includes charging a feed having an intimate mixture of aluminum chloride, sodium chloride, and aluminum metal, to a reactor at an initial temperature less than about 80&#xb0; C., carrying out a solid state reaction to form a solid NaAlClat an intermediate temperature less than about 145&#xb0; C., melting the formed solid NaAlClat an elevated temperature greater than about 150&#xb0; C. to produce molten phase NaAlCl, holding the reactor at a raised temperature greater than about 165&#xb0; C. to substantially complete formation of colorless NaAlCland filtering the reactor contents at a final temperature greater than about 165&#xb0; C.
