Method for producing soluble potassium sulfate by recrystallization of crude potassium sulfate wherein the crude potassium sulfate contains an amount of potassium, calculated as KO, of about 15 wt % or higher, and the resulting potassium sulfate crystalline material conforms with the following characteristics: the amount of insoluble material is less than about 0.05 wt %, a 1 wt % solution of the potassium sulfate has a pH below about 6, and/or 1 pH unit lower than the pH of the crude potassium sulfate, the fraction obtained after crystallization has an average particle size within the following parameters: (i) d90&#x3c;about 0.6 mm, (ii) d10&#x3e;about 0.02 mm, and (iii) dust amounts to about 0.4 wt % or less, whereby the resulting potassium sulfate contains more than 51% potassium, calculated as KO.
