R.Assistant: Langel, Wayne A. Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassC01D 7/00 (20060101)AbstractSoda values from the crystallizer mother liquor purge in the process of making sodium carbonate from trona are recovered by (1) mixing the purge with treating agent of magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, bauxite, certain fine particle size calcined trona, insoluble impurities obtained in the trona-soda ash process, or mixtures thereof, (2) evaporating the resulting mixture to dryness and calcining it to insolubilize soluble silicates and to reduce contamination with carbonaceous impurities, and (3) leaching the calcined mixture with water or aqueous sodium carbonate solution.Other References
