Abstract
A process for the production of high purity calcium thiosulfate by a metathesis reaction of ammonium thiosulfate and calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide is disclosed. Aqueous solutions of high purity calcium thiosulfate, in concentrations up to about 30% by weight, are prepared by removing substantially all of the co-product ammonia under conditions which minimize the decomposition of the thiosulfate ion. Heating the reaction mixture to a temperature of about the boiling point at atmospheric pressure is used to prepare aqueous solution of about 10% by weight calcium thiosulfate, and lower reaction temperatures are employed to prepare more concentrated aqueous solutions of calcium thiosulfate up to about 30% by weight, which is the saturation point.
