Abstract
The invention comprises a method of removing anionic polymers and acidic organic impurities from aqueous trona solutions prior to crystallization whereby improved crystal formation is achieved which comprises treating such solutions with at least one nitrogen containing cationic compound consisting of water-soluble cationic polymers and fatty substituted quaternary ammonium salts followed by a solid adsorbant from the group consisting of clays and activated carbon.
