Polishing of Sodium Hydroxide Solution for Sulphate Removal
EF 2016-17
Résumé
Saskatchewan Mining and Minerals Inc. (SMMI) is seeking assistance from Southern Alberta Institute ofTechnology to investigate a low-cost technological solution that will remove residual sulphate ions fromsodium hydroxide. The SMMI proprietary process co-produces sodium hydroxide, but the process has onemajor disadvantage: residual sulphate ions remain in the sodium hydroxide product. The proposed project willprovide technical recommendations on an optimal, effective sulphate removal process with cost/benefitanalysis and operating requirement details. The project results are expected to help SMMI develop and achieveits own advanced sodium sulphate ion removal process, so that its sodium hydroxide product can be marketed.
