A process for removing dichromates from chlorate-rich solutions containing hypochlorite and dichromate ions and produced by the electrolysis of brine. The dichromate is reduced in a two-stage process by the addition of ammonia under controlled conditions of pH and temperature to a mixed di- and trivalent chromium hydroxide which is precipitated from solution and removed. The process provides an economical method of recovering chromium from electrolytically produced chlorate solutions. |
