Abstract
A process for recovery of reusable chromic acid from waste chromic acid solution containing impurities, which process comprises a first step in which the solution containing chromic acid is introduced into the cathode compartment in an electro-dialysis process and free chromic acid or chromate ions in the above solution are transferred to the anode compartment, a second step in which H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is added in at least equivalent amounts to the heavy metallic ion contained in the outlet solution, in which chromic acid ion concentration is reduced, in order to convert chemical species of the contained metallic ion and increase the H.sup.+ ion concentration and then chromate ions in the resultant solution are extracted into an organic phase with contact of an organic solvent (A), and a third step in which residual amounts of chromic acid ion remaining in the aqueous raffinate from the second step are extracted into an organic phase with contact of an organic solvent (B). Organic solvents A and B are regenerated by stripping the organic phase with a suitable strip reagent.
