Abstract
Alkali metal sulfates are produced from an aqueous solution containing alkali metal hydrogen sulfate which comprises contacting the aqueous solution of alkali metal hydrogen sulfate with a hydrophilic solvent, the hydrophilic solvent being effective to extract at least a portion of the sulfuric acid formed as the alkali metal hydrogen sulfate is converted to alkali metal sulfate in the solution, together with at least a portion of the water present; permitting the alkali metal sulfate solid to crystallize; and recovering the solid alkali metal sulfate product. The hydrophilic solvent may then be extracted and separated from the sulfuric acid with a hydrophobic solvent and both solvents can be recovered and recycled.
