A New Basic Triple Salt Containing Magnesium Hydroxide

Part III. The Quinary System KCl-K₂SO₄-MgCl₂-MgSO₄-Mg(OH)₂-H₂O at 100°

Abstract

The quinary system KCl-K₂SO₄ MgCl₂- MgSO₄-Mg(OH)₂-H₂O and associated systems KCl-K₂SO₄-Mg(OH)₂-H₂O and MgCl₂-MgSO₄-Mg(OH)₂-H₂O were investigated at 100°. Upon the accomplishment of this quinary system, it was proved that the crystallization field of the new basic triple salt (NS salt B) was so large that various bitterns produced in salt manufacturing factories are included in this field, and it thus became possible to directly separate potassium as sulfate from bittern at 100°
