Abstract

Substantially anhydrous caustic potash is made from an aqueous solution containing between 80 and 96 per cent KOH at 200-350 DEG C. by exposing a large surface area of the solution to a gas or vapour, in which the partial water vapour pressure is kept below 150 mm. of mercury, under adiabatic conditions or under such isothermal conditions that not more than 80 ton calories are gained or not more than 40 ton calories are lost by the system per ton of product. The process may be executed by spraying an 85-95 per cent KOH solution at 250-350 DEG C. into a vacuum or by spraying an 80-90 per cent KOH solution at 200-300 DEG C. through a current of hot air or by feeding an 80-95 per cent KOH solution into a vessel containing granular KOH or other solid carrier which is being agitated while air passes over it, or by spreading the liquor as a film. A superheated KOH liquor may also be used. The final product is granular and dust free contains less than 1 per cent water and is of apparent density between 0.3 and 1.2 gr./c.c.
