Abstract
Abstract A process for treating a salt-containing acid solution is described wherein the cations contained therein are effectively removed by contacting such solution with an organic solvent to precipitate a cation-containing solids fraction. The organic solvent is miscible with water and acid in all proportions. The solids fraction is separated, for example by filtration techniques, and after further treatment may be used in other processing operations. The liquid phase is treated to remove the organic solvent thereby leaving an acid solution which may be used, inter alia, for the regeneration of a cation exchange resin.
