Reaction Steps

Reference may be made to U.S. Pat. No. 4,504,458, Mar. 12, 1985 by Knudsen which discloses a process for converting gypsum into potassium sulphate or sodium sulphate by subjecting aqueous slurry of gypsum with anion exchanger (in chloride form) under acidic conditions which resulted into calcium chloride solution and resin in sulfate form. The anion exchange resin is then contacted with potassium chloride or sodium chloride solution thereby regenerating the sulphate loaded resin to form chloride loaded resin and potassium sulfate or sodium sulfate solution.
