ABSTRACT:
In the electrolysis of an alkaline earth metal-containing alkali metal brine wherein the alkaline earth metals contained in the brine are removed, the brine is subjected to electrolysis, and the residual brine is concentrated and recycled for further electrolysis along with make-up fresh brine, the improvement which comprises contacting the alkaline earth metal-containing brine with a weakly acidic cation exchanger in the Na+ form, the exchanger comprising units of at least one of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, whereby the alkaline earth metals are adsorbed on the cation exchanger, and periodically regenerating the cation exchanger. The cation exchanger is regenerated by contact with a hydrochloric acid solution of about 5 to 10% concentration, the regenerating solution effluent from the column being combined with the redissoluted sodium sulphate which is precipitated during concentration of the cell liquor thereby to precipitate any sulphate contained in the brine as the alkaline earth metal sulphate. Advantageously the precipitation is effected at a pH above about 8 whereby any magnesium present in the brine or regenerating effluent is also precipitated as magnesium hydroxide.
