Patent abstract
A process for reducing the content of alkali metal impurities (e.g., potassium) in ammonium metallate solutions is described. The process involves subjecting a feed solution containing ammonium metallate and alkali metal impurities to membrane filtration. The membrane filtration results in the formation of a retentate having a reduced level alkali metal relative to the feed solution, and a permeate containing substantially the balance of alkali metal. The permeate may also be further treated, to remove alkali metal there from, by passage through a cation exchange column, thereby forming a cation exchange treated permeate that may be combined with the retentate of the membrane filtration step.
