Processes and systems for producing potassium sulfate as a byproduct of a desulfurization process. Sulfur dioxide is absorbed from a flue gas using an ammonia-containing solution to produce an ammonium sulfate solution that contains dissolved ammonium sulfate. At least a first portion of the ammonium sulfate solution is heated before dissolving potassium chloride therein to form a slurry that contains potassium sulfate crystals and an ammonium chloride solution. The slurry is then cooled to precipitate additional potassium sulfate crystals, after which the potassium sulfate crystals are removed to yield a residual ammonium chloride solution that contains dissolved ammonium chloride and residual dissolved potassium sulfate. Ammonia is then absorbed into the residual ammonium chloride solution to further precipitate potassium sulfate crystals, which are removed to yield a residual ammonium chloride solution that is substantially free of dissolved potassium sulfate.

The present disclosure discloses a method for producing potassium sulfate by a metathesis process, a potassium sulfate product and a potash fertilizer, and relates to the field of potassium sulfate preparation methods. A solid ammonium sulfate and a solid potassium chloride are used as raw materials and are added in two steps for reaction, a first-stage reaction and a second-stage reaction are respectively carried out, then a third-stage reaction with hot water is carried out, and crystallization and separation are carried out, such that impurities in the product are fully removed, and meanwhile, the content of K.sub.2O in the product is increased. The potassium sulfate product with high K.sub.2O content and low chlorine content can be prepared through the three-stage reaction process provided by the present disclosure, and the method is simple and easy to implement and convenient for industrial application.
