Abstract

Conversion of Langbeinite and Kieserite in Schoenite With Mirabilite and Sylvite in Water and Schoenite Solution

Mariia Artus and Ivan Kostiv

The hydration of soluble Langbeinite and kieserite was investigated in the presence of potassium chloride and sodium sulfate. The addition of sodium sulfate affects water activity less than in the case of clean water. Therefore, we have conducted a research by adding water instead of schoenite solution. According to the results, hydration of Langbeinite by adding sodium sulfate in the first 240 hours occurs more intensively than without sodium sulfate with formation of a readily soluble schoenite and halite.
