Abstract

See full text

A method for recovering alkali value from sodium bicarbonate-containing ore by utilizing an aqueous solvent containing ammonia. The aqueous ammonia solvent is contacted with the ore to solubilize the sodium bicarbonate-containing ore. The alkali values in the resulting solution are crystallized, preferably as sodium carbonate monohydrate or as sodium sesquicarbonate, which may be processed to recover soda ash. Aqueous ammonia solvent is preferably regenerated from the mother liquor remaining after recovery of the solids, the ammonia solvent then being employed in a cyclic method to recover additional alkali values from the ore.
