dc.description.abstractA salt extraction process to enhance the quality and quantity of salt produced at Lake Katwe in Uganda is presented. To validate the designed process, laboratory experiments were conducted. The techno-economic analysis of the process flow sheet was modeled and simulated by SuperPro Designer. Halite of purity >98% was obtained by floating burkeite and trona which co-precipitate with it during evaporation. The other feasible products of the process are soda ash and sodium sulfate. With a net present value of US$25,077,817, the proposed process is economically viable. Keywords: Salt Extraction, Lake Katwe, Sodium Chloride, Soda Ash, Sodium Sulfate, SuperPro Designeren_US
