Abstract

The content of sodium sulfate (and less soluble sulfates) in rock salt (halite) can economically be reduced from levels as high as 5 weight percent to levels as low as about 0.1 weight percent by the process of the invention. The halite is crushed to a certain particle size range and particles less than 0.5 mm in effective diameter are removed while (or after) the crushed material is subjected to attrition washing with a low sulfate, high NaCl brine. The washed, coarse particles are rinsed with a low sulfate brine, drained and dried to an extent appropriate to their contemplated use.
