Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus are provided for depleting sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) from washing solutions to obtain pure sodium thiocyanate. By adding an anti-solvent such as ethanol, which acts as anti-solvent for the main part of the accompanying salts in the solution, the major part of these accompanying salts can be separated by precipitation in a crystallization and removed, for example, by filtration, whereas the NaSCN remains in the solution. After separating the anti-solvent from the remaining aqueous solution in a rectification, a very pure crystallized NaSCN is produced in a NaSCN crystallization. After washing in a counterstream washing apparatus, the obtained crystallized NaSCN product has a purity of at least 99%.
