Abstract

Air and water are removed from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal halides (specifically sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium chlorides) by initially heating to a temperature below the melting point at a pressure less than atmospheric and subsequently at a temperature above the melting point at a pressure not greater than atmospheric. In the described embodiments, (a) the material is heated at a pressure not exceeding 300 microns for 4-6 hours during which time the temperature is raised rapidly to 50-100 DEG C. above the melting point (b) the material is initially heated slightly below the melting point at less than 3 centimetres, preferably not exceeding a 100 microns, of mercury and subsequently slightly above melting point at not more than 3,000 microns, preferably whilst flowing in inert gas such as the monotomic gases helium, argon or neon therethrough (c) heating under vacuum well below the melting point and subsequently slightly above the melting point at or below atmospheric pressure in the presence of an inert gas. Examples are given of these three embodiments in which the salt used is sodium chloride.
