Abstract:
The present invention concerns a process and an apparatus for purifying a phosphate containing acidic solution comprising impurities through a nanofiltration station comprising a number of nanofiltration membrane units, each comprising a retentate side and a permeate side separated by a membrane, the process comprising feeding the phosphate containing acidic solution through an entry line to a first membrane unit of n 2: 1 membrane units arranged in series, wherein a nth permeate flowing out of the nth membrane unit forms a nanofiltered phosphate solution. The gist of the present invention is the provision of at least one permeate recirculation loop, branching off the retentate side of the first membrane unit and closing the loop at the entry line to combine at least one of three permeates with the phosphate containing acidic solution.

Process for the production of a purified phosphoric acid solution and/or dicalcium phosphate salts A process for the production of purified phosphoric acid solution (31,33) comprises the steps (a) of provision of a phosphate mineral source (1); (b) of acid attack of the phosphate mineral source by a concentrated strong acid aqueous solution (3) to obtain an attack mixture (5); (c) of dilution in water (7) of the attack mixture to obtain a monocalcium phosphate solution (11); (d) filtration (e) acidulation by a strong acid (19) to obtain a phosphoric acid solution (21); (f) optional pre-purification to obtain a pre-purified phosphoric acid solution (25) and (g) of separation through a membrane (29) of the phosphoric acid solution (21, 25) to recover a purified phosphoric acid solution (31), wherein the membrane (29) is selected from a diffusion dialysis acid separation membrane, an electrodialysis-driven depletion membrane or a nanofiltration membrane. The disclosure also relates to a process of production of a dicalcium phosphate salt (47, 49).
Abstract:
This invention pertains to a method for recovering phosphoric acid from a spent phosphoric acid / alkali metal permanganate salt etching solution containing at least one manganese oxide, characterized in that said process comprises the following successive steps: (a) heating the etching solution to a temperature between 90°C and 200°C so as to coalesce said at least one manganese oxide, (b) cooling down the resulting suspension, (c) centrifuging the cooled suspension so as to separate a liquid phase from a solid phase, and (d) recovering said liquid phase which contains phosphoric acid. It also pertains to a process for metallizing a non-conductive substrate, comprising an oxidation step with an etching solution, in which said etching solution is treated according to the above method.
Abstract:
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.
