20100084605 | PROCESS TO PREPARE CONCENTRATED ALKALI METAL HYPO-CHLORITE - The present invention pertains to a process for preparing a concentrated alkali metal hypochlorite solution by reacting chlorine with an alkali metal hydroxide to form alkali metal hypochlorite, alkali metal chloride, and water, wherein one or more aqueous solutions comprising an alkali metal hydroxide and alkali metal hypochlorite are led in a swirling flow through one or more inlet pipes of a reaction vessel, wherein chlorine is injected into said reaction vessel at its top part and flows downwards through said one or more inlet pipes, and wherein the outflow openings of the one or more inlet pipes are arranged such that the solution leaving said outflow openings, being supersaturated with alkali metal chloride, is directed through a fluidized bed of said alkali metal chloride, while the flow direction is converted upwards through said fluidized bed. | 04-08-2010 |
20110129409 | SODIUM CHLORIDE PRODUCTION PROCESS - The present invention pertains to a process for producing sodium chloride comprising the steps of (i) preparing a brine comprising at least 150 g/l of sodium chloride by dissolving a sodium chloride source in water, (ii) subjecting the resulting brine to a eutectic freeze crystallization step by indirect cooling of said brine, resulting in the formation of ice, sodium chloride dihydrate, and a mother liquor, (iii) separating the sodium chloride dihydrate formed in step (ii) from the ice and optionally mother liquor at the eutectic temperature, such that a sodium chloride dihydrate-rich stream is formed, and (iv) feeding said sodium chloride dihydrate-rich stream to a recrystallizer to form sodium chloride and a mother liquor. | 06-02-2011 |
20110214257 | SODIUM CHLORIDE PRODUCTION PROCESS - The present invention pertains to a process for producing sodium chloride comprising the steps of: (i) preparing a brine having a sodium chloride concentration which is higher than the sodium chloride concentration of the eutectic point but lower than the sodium chloride concentration of a saturated brine by dissolving a sodium chloride source in water; (ii) cooling the resulting brine by indirect cooling in a self-cleaning fluidized bed heat exchanger/crystallizer to a temperature lower than 00 C but higher than the eutectic temperature of the resulting brine, thereby forming a slurry comprising sodium chloride dihydrate and a mother liquor; (iii) feeding the sodium chloride dihydrate to a recrystallizer to form sodium chloride and a mother liquor, and (iv) recycling at least part of the mother liquor obtained in step (ii) and/or step (iii) to step (i). | 09-08-2011 |
20120129952 | NON-CAKING SALT COMPOSITION, PREPARATION PROCESS AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to a sodium chloride composition comprising an iron complex of tartaric acid wherein between 55 and 90% by weight of the tartaric acid is meso-tartaric acid. The present invention furthermore relates to a process to prepare such a sodium chloride composition and to the use of such a sodium chloride composition. | 05-24-2012 |
20120130124 | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A COMPOSITION COMPRISING MESO-TARTARIC ACID - The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composition comprising tartaric acid wherein between 55 and 90% by weight of the tartaric acid is meso-tartaric acid, comprising the steps of (i) preparing an aqueous mixture comprising between 35 and 65% by weight of a di-alkali metal salt of L-tartaric acid, a di-alkali metal salt of D-tartaric acid, a mixture of di-alkali metal salts of L-tartaric acid, D-tartaric acid, and optionally meso-tartaric acid, and between 2 and 15% by weight of an alkali metal or alkaline metal hydroxide, and (ii) stirring and heating the aqueous mixture to a temperature of between 100° C. and its boiling point until between 55 and 90% by weight of tartaric acid has been converted to meso-tartaric acid. | 05-24-2012 |
20120244231 | NON-CAKING POTASSIUM CHLORIDE COMPOSTION, PREPARATION PROCESS AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to a potassium chloride composition comprising an iron complex of tartaric acid, characterized in that at least 5% by weight of the tartaric acid is mesotartaric acid and that a 10% by weight aqueous solution of said potassium chloride composition has a pH value of between 6 and 11. The present invention furthermore relates to a process to prepare such a potassium chloride composition and to the use of such a potassium chloride composition. | 09-27-2012 |
20140072718 | NON-CAKING POTASSIUM CHLORIDE COMPOSITION, PREPARATION PROCESS AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to a potassium chloride composition comprising an iron complex of tartaric acid, characterized in that at least 5% by weight of the tartaric acid is mesotartaric acid and that a 10% by weight aqueous solution of said potassium chloride composition has a pH value of between 6 and 11. The present invention furthermore relates to a process to prepare such a potassium chloride composition and to the use of such a potassium chloride composition. | 03-13-2014 |
