Abstract

Process for separating sulphate from a contaminating chromium component contained in an aqueous liquor by the crystallization of a sulphate compound. The sulphate may be separated substantially free of chromium component by adjustment of the pH to the range of from about 2.0 to about 6.5, followed by cooling of the liquor to precipitate the sulphate compound from solution which sulphate is subsequently removed. The process provides an effective method for the separation of sulphate from dichromate, and is particularly useful in the production of chlorate.
