PERCHLORATE REMOVAL FROM CONCENTRATED SALT SOLUTIONS USING AMPHOTERIC ION-EXCHANGE RESINS

摘要

A process for reducing the concentration of perchlorate in an aqueous concentrated multi-component salt solution comprising treating the salt solution with an amphoteric ion-exchange resin to provide an adsorbed perchlorate and multi anion-containing resin and a perchlorate depleted solution; and removing the perchlorate depleted solution. The multi-anion are selected from chloride, chlorate, perchlorate, sulphate, and dichromate, present in electrolytic processes for the production of sodium chlorate.
