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:
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.

摘要:
Substantially fluoride-free phosphoric acid is produced by the acidulation of phosphate rock with sulfuric acid wherein the acidulation reaction is conducted in the presence of added potassium as K.sub.2 O bearing compounds, e.g. KHSO.sub.4, K.sub.2 SO.sub.4, KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 or KOH, and additional silica, to precipitate fluorides and silica as potassium silicofluoride and then removed on separation of the gypsum formed. Optionally, additional silica may be added to the phosphoric acid solution recovered after precipitation and removal of the gypsum, to precipitate additional fluoride as potassium silicofluoride to further purify the phosphoric acid. In a further embodiment sufficient potassium may be added along with additional silica in the acidulation step to produce potassium dihydrogen phosphate and phosphoric acid as additional products. The phosphoric acid and potassium dihydrogen phosphate are recovered substantially free from fluoride contamination and the reaction is carried out in the substantial absence of fluorine evolution into the atmosphere. Also disclosed is a process for conducting a conventional phosphoric acid facility to produce phosphoric acid and gypsum wherein defluorination of the phosphoric acid recovered is achieved by silicon dioxide and K.sub.2 O addition and the fluorides are removed from the system, the process including steps for production of pure phosphoric acid and potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
