Abstract

A process for the removal of essentially chromium-free sulfate from a chromate and sulfate-containing chlorate liquor which includes mixing the chlorate liquor having a pH of between about 2.0 and 6.0 with a calcium-containing material at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form a sulfate-containing precipitate predominantly of glauberite, Na.sub.2 Ca(SO.sub.4).sub.2, and separating the substantially chromium-free glauberite from the chlorate liquor.
