摘要:
Phosphate rock, including low grade phosphate ore, is treated to recover phosphoric acid and other valuable products by a series of steps including contacting phosphate ore with a weak phosphoric acid to form a suspension of at least a portion of the slimes contained in the ore so that the slimes can be separated from the ore, and separating the slimes to provide a deslimed phosphate ore. Deslimed phosphate rock is solubilized with phosphoric acid to convert at least a portion of the calcium contained in the rock and form a solution of monocalcium phosphate and phosphoric acid. After removal of solids, this solution can be treated with sulfuric acid in a gypsum crystallizer to form gypsum and the phosphoric acid product wherein filterable gypsum crystals are obtained by maintaining a total SO.sub.3 content of 1.5-4 wt. % in a first crystallizer and neutralizing the SO.sub.3 in a second crystallizer. In other aspects of the invention, at least a portion of the phosphoric acid produced may be recycled to convert additional ore and the slime suspension may be treated to recover the weak acid recovered from the suspension. Further, wash water from the gypsum filter may be recycled to the desliming stage, the filtrate from the deslimer may be cycled to the acidulation reactor and monocalcium phosphate may be recovered as a separate product from phosphoric acid and connected to other useful products.

摘要:
A motor vehicle lubricating facility for enabling a workman to perform lubricating functions on an automobile rapidly and efficiently with a minimum of waste time and effort. The facility comprises a building structure with a basement floor and a ground floor supported on columns above the basement floor. In the ground floor are a plurality of rectangular longitudinal openings in parallel relation, each adapted to be straddled by an automobile driven over the ground floor through door openings at the front and back of the building structure. Adjustably supported at a selected one of several heights on the columns between the ground and basement floor and substantially coinciding in area with each of the openings in the ground floor, is a "catwalk" or grilled metal platform, on which a workman may stand to perform lubricating functions with respect to parts of the automobile accessible only from beneath the automobile. The I-beams supporting the ground floor at each side of the openings in the ground floor provide tracks on which runs a mobile dolly of the type carrying a power jack as fully disclosed and claimed in my copending application concurrently filed herewith. A mobile tank operating on the same tracks as the dolly, is provided into which oil may be drained directly from the crank case, differential or transmission of an automobile. A metered hose line is provided by which oil or other lubricants supplied therethrough to the work area is automatically measured. A work shelf is suspended from the columns at one side of the catwalk for holding tools and the like used by the workman.
摘要:
Alkali metal fluosilicate is used as an intermediate reactant in a process for the production of hydrochloric acid and an alkali metal sulfate from sulfuric acid and an alkali metal chloride. The process includes the reaction of alkali metal fluosilicate with sulfuric acid to produce alkali metal sulfate and H.sub.2 SiF.sub.6, the latter being reacted with alkali metal chloride to produce HCl and alkali metal fluosilicate. The resulting hydrochloric acid may be converted to anhydrous hydrogen chloride. A continuous process for the production of hydrochloric acid and of alkali metal sulfate such as potassium sulfate from an alkali metal fluosilicate material is also disclosed.
摘要:
Monocalcium phosphate, phosphoric acid and/or potassium phosphate, calcium fluoride and gypsum are produced in a process involving acidulation of phosphate rock with phosphoric acid, and wherein monocalcium phosphate dissolved in phosphoric acid is formed during acidulation. In important features, insolubles and impurities are removed and a portion of the monocalcium phosphate may be separated and recovered. Alkali metal ion is added to the solution to form alkali metal fluosilicate, such as K.sub.2 SiF.sub.6, is separated and hydrolyzed with calcium ion to form CaF.sub.2 and the solution is recycled as RH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 /H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 for further reaction with fluorides, where R is alkali metal. A portion of the MCP/H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 solution and/or crystallized monocalcium phosphate can then be reacted with potassium sulfate, potassium bisulfate, or mixtures thereof, to form KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 or KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 /H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 solutions, and gypsum or with H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 to produce phosphoric acid. The remaining monocalcium phosphate/phosphoric acid solution can be reacted with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid product and the recycle phosphoric acid required in the phosphate rock acidulation step.
