摘要:
Acid hydrolysis of biomass is an important step for releasing the component sugars before converting them to fuels and/or biochemicals. During such a process, a significant amount of mineral acid, such as sulfuric acid, is used. In most cases, the residual acid is neutralized with lime before the sugar conversion step. By doing so, a waste calcium sulphate stream is generated and sent to disposal. The efficient separation of acid from the sugars would allow the recycle of the acid and make the entire process more economically viable. We found that a resin bed packed with an acid retardation resin can be used to achieve an efficient separation (i.e. 98.5% recovery of the acid) of the sulfuric acid from the sugars. The resin bed can be simply regenerated with water.

The present invention relates to a method for purifying raw phosphoric acid by adding ashes originating from waste incineration plants, as well as calcium hydroxide and at least one sulfide, and by wet-chemical digestion to obtain (produce) calcium sulfate, pure phosphoric acid, metal salt solution and/or calcium hydrogen phosphates (e.g. triple superphosphate).
摘要:
Process for purifying a stream comprising phosphoric acid and a first amount of impurities, wherein ■ A slurry of phosphoric acid crystals in a water mother liquor is formed; ■ The phosphoric acid crystals are separated from the mother liquor by filtration in a wash column comprising at least one filtering element (4), while a packed bed of crystals coming from the slurry forms near said filtering element (4); ■ The separated phosphoric acid crystals are washed in the wash column by bringing a washing liquid in countercurrent to the crystals in the bed up to a wash front, where the washing liquid recrystallizes, the bed being subjected to a movement in the direction of said wash front (6b); ■ A purified stream comprising phosphoric acid and a reduced amount of impurities is formed by melting at least part of the washed crystals; ■ The purified stream is extracted from the wash column through a product outlet of the wash column;
characterized in that water is introduced into said wash column (1), between the wash front (6b) and the product outlet and/or in a melting circuit (8,10,11,21) producing at least part of the washing liquid, and wherein the introduction of the said water decreases the equilibrium temperature of the contents of the melting circuit (8,10,11,21).
摘要:
A process for purifying phosphoric acid includes removing volatile components from phosphoric acid rich in impurities to form a crude phosphoric acid liquid substantially free of volatile components; heating the crude phosphoric acid liquid to a temperature above 250° C in order to decompose phosphoric acid in the crude phosphoric acid liquid and generate gaseous phosphoric anhydride; and introducing the gaseous phosphoric anhydride into water or a dilute phosphoric acid aqueous solution in order to hydrate the gaseous phosphoric anhydride to form phosphoric acid.

The invention relates to a process for producing simultaneously food-grade and fodder-grade phosphoric acid by crystallizing phosphoric acid hemihydrate, H3PO4 x 0.5 H2O, from a prepurified feed acid, which is purified and crystallized with the help of the following steps, a) after the step of froth-flotation of phosphate concentrate, the concentrate is directed to a strongly magnetic separation step in order to decrease the Mg ion amount, b) the phosphate concentrate is leached in a mixture of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid according to the wet process, the precipitated SO4 and As ions are removed, and a silicon source is added in order to adjust the F/Si molar ratio to 58% P2O5, solids concentration of
