The present invention contemplates for providing a producing method which
can give highly pure caustic potash in a relatively simple process, in
response to the above-described demand for increased high purity in
caustic potash.
A method to give highly pure caustic potash containing almost no
impurities of sodium, chlorine, and heavy metals, such as iron, chromium
and nickel, through crystallization, by bringing an aqueous caustic
potash solution having a sodium content of 200 mg/kg or less and a
chlorine content of 15 mg/kg or less when calculated in terms of a weight
of potassium chloride, in which a caustic potash concentration of 48% is
to be a standard, into a high temperature state.
