PROCESS FOR RECOVERING PROCESSING LIQUIDS FROM STREAMS CONTAINING ALKALINE EARTH METAL SALTS

摘要

A process for recovering processing liquids from a feed stream which contains processing fluid, water, and at least one alkaline earth metal cation. The process includes reacting at least one alkaline earth metal cation with a suitable anion to form a substantially water-insoluble salt precipitate, the precipitate being formed in one of a fractionation column having a forced recycle loop or a flash vessel having a forced heated recycle loop.
