PART 1

(PLANT DESIGN PROCESS :Potassium Chloride Process)

The sodium chlorate used in this process has ordinarily been produced directly by the
electrolysis of an aqueous sodium chloride solution in an electrolytic cell. To each batch of
sodium chlorate produced potassium chloride is added stoichiometrically; the resulting
KC103/NaCl solution is cooled; and the KC103 crystals that form are separated from the
solution. The industry practice has been to boil down the remaining solution, or mother liquor,
to adjust the water concentration to the level employed in the electrolytic cell and to return the
concentrated liquor to the cell for further electrolysis with the NaCl added by the above
reaction to produce more sodium chlorate according to the reaction

Equipment used :
1) Crusher
2) Ball mill
3) Thickener
4) Hydroclone
5) Kiln dryer
