A process for producing ammonia and sulfuric acid from a stream comprising
ammonium sulfate is provided. The process comprises the steps of heating
the stream to produce ammonia and a decomposition product comprising one
or more than one of a bisulfate salt, a pyrosulfate salt, or a
combination thereof. The ammonia produced is recovered, and water is
added to the decomposition product to produce a stream comprising the
decomposition product. The stream comprising the decomposition product is
processed by acid retardation to obtain a sulfuric acid stream and a
stream comprising one or more than one sulfate salt.
