INTRODUCTION
The Egyptian Company for Salts and Minerals (EMISAL) is an
Egyptian joint stock company subject to the provisions of the Law
of Investment of Arab and Foreign Capital and Free Zones No. 43
of 1974 and amended by Law No. 230 of 1989, established in
1984 with a capital of LE 76.25 million for the purpose of extracting
economic salts from Qaroun Lake. Production of Sodium Sulphate,
Sodium Sulphide and Magnesium Sulphate Salt as well as the
possibility of producing other salts such as boron, bromine and
potassium salts in order to preserve Qaroun Lake from the rise of
continuous salts and protect marine life from environmental
.protection and preservation
POND 2:
Pond 2 Area of ( 1.1 km2 ) , By exploitation
of solar energy through natural evaporation,
which leads to the concentration of salinity
of pond water to the appropriate
concentration 140 g / liter , then leave to
pond 3.
POND 3:
Pond 3 Area of ( 1.4 km2 ) , By exploitation
of solar energy through natural
evaporation, which leads to the
concentration of salinity of pond water to
the appropriate concentration 250 g / liter ,
then leave to pond 4.
POND 4:
Pond 4 Area of ( 0.63 km2 ) , By
exploitation of solar energy through
natural evaporation, which leads to the
concentration of salinity of pond water to
the appropriate concentration 350 g / liter
, then leave to Storage ponds (NACL
Ponds).
Nature:
An Egyptian joint stock company, established according to the
Law No. 43/1974 and its amendment through the Law No. 230/1989 of
The Arab and Foreign Investment and Free Zones.
Company Objectives :
SALT EXTRACTION
* Water from the Lake is pumped into concentration ponds to be
concentrated by solar energy until it reaches the last pond with a salinity
as much as 10 times From original salinity of the Lake
* The concentrated brine from the 4th pond is pumped into the sodium
sulphate plant where it is cooled to crystatize hydrous sodium
sulphate, Na2SO4 , H2o (Glauber Salt) which is then dehydrated or
anhydrous sodium sulphate, then packed.
* The residual mother liquor, after the recovery of sodium sulphate, is
discharged into a set of auxiliary evaporation ponds where sodium
chloride (NaCl) is crystatize . It is then harvested, and taken into washing
and purification plant, then packed
* The residual bittern, enriched in magnesium salts, is then discharged
into a final set of ponds where it is stored as the raw material for
extracting magnesium sulphate (MgSO4.7H2O) and ultra pure sodium
chloride (NaCl) salt as secondry product .
Item Analysis
Na2SO4 99 % minimum
NaCl 0.5 % maximum
Humidity 0.2 % maximum
Specific gravity 1.3-1.4 g/cm3
Shape free flowing crystals
Colour snow-white, 90% as compared with barium sulphate
pH Between 6-7 for the 1% solution
1- The Local Market :
The anhydrous sodium sulphate produced by EMISAL was well
received by the local market. Now it covers all its demand.
Total production during the period 1997 2008 is 1.3 million
tons.
2-Export :
After satisfying the local market, EMISAL exports a substantial
part of its production to the neighboring countries including
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Greece, Turkey, Sudan,
Ereteria, Tunisia, Morocco and Others
