Procedure
The reaction product obtained by the reaction of ammonium sulfate with the metal oxide or hydroxide in which the metal is magnesium is usually an aqueous solution or slurry of magnesium sulfate in a concentration of at least 15% by weight. If this aqueous solution or slurry is fed to the next step as such, the energy for dehydration is consumed greatly. This is not industrially desirable. Usually, anhydrous magnesium sulfate and magnesium sulfate monohydrate are obtained by dehydrating magnesium heptahydrate by heating it in an open system, hot air drying, etc. It is well known that the energy consumed for evaporating and removing the water of crystallization is very great.
