Abstract: The microcline CaSO4-CaO system was determined to be used to obtain K2SO4 by thermodynamical analysing and computing lots of possible reactions of 6 microcline systems. The effects of roasting temperature, time and ratios of reactants on the potassium recovery of the microcline CaSO4-CaCO3 were studied and the favorable conditions were determined as follow: 1323 K, 3.0 h, m (microcline)∶ m (CaSO4·2H2O)∶ m (CaCO3)=1∶1∶3. In the presence of 0.9% additive I, the roasting temperature decreased from 1323 Kto 1223 Kand the potassium recovery was 84%. Kinetic experimental data of the two systems with or without additive I both fitted a diffusion-through-product-layer-reaction-controlmodel, and their kinetic equations were presented with apparent activation energies 184.4 kJ·mol-1 and 158.9 kJ·mol-1 respectively.
