The present invention relates to a process of recovering 3-hydroxypropionic acid, comprising: forming a 3-hydroxypropionate crystal in a concentrate containing 3-hydroxypropionic acid in the presence of an alkali metal salt; preparing a solution containing the 3-hydroxypropionate crystal separated from the concentrate; and adding ammonia to the solution containing the 3-hydroxypropionate crystal, and a slurry composition comprising a precipitate prepared in the process of recovering 3-hydroxypropionic acid, and 3-hydroxypropionic acid.

The present invention relates to a process of recovering an alkali metal sulfate, comprising: forming an organic acid fermentation liquid containing an alkali metal salt of organic acid; and adding sulfuric acid to the organic acid fermentation liquid to form and recover an alkali metal sulfate, wherein the alkali metal sulfate has a radioactivity concentration index of 1 or less, and to an alkali metal sulfate crystal comprising a predetermined peak in an X-ray diffraction spectrum (XRD) and having a radioactivity concentration index of 1 or less.
