The present invention provides a process for producing potassium sulfate from a potash and a sodium sulfate source, comprising the steps of: (a) treating a portion of the potash source and sodium sulfate source, such that glaserite is crystallized out of solution and a first mother liquor is produced; (b) converting the glaserite to precipitate potassium sulfate in a second mother liquor; (c) recycling the second mother liquor to the portion of the potash source and sodium sulfate source; (d) subjecting the first mother liquor to evaporative crystallization to produce sodium chloride in a third mother liquor; and (e) recycling the third mother liquor to the portion of the potash source and sodium sulfate source. |
