• The mixed sulfate salt is a valuable byproduct that could be processed to final products. The mixture contains:
The resin used in the CIX process for the purification of El Wady Phosphoric Acid has to be regenerated by washing with Sulfuric Acid to get rid of the metallic impurities that are adhered to it. This results in a valuable effluent byproduct stream loaded with mixed metallic elements in the form of soluble sulfate salts.
