Abstract:

Sulfate impurity,which exists in phosphoric acid by dihydrate process,not only reduces the quality of phosphoric acid,but also increases the consumption of sulfuric acid by phosphoric acid.The influence of desulfurizer dosage,reaction time and reaction temperature on the desulfurization was completed,using phosphorus concentrate as desulfurizer.Meanwhile,the solubility product of calcium sulfate dihydrate in wet-process phosphoric acid was measured.The results showed that sul-fate in phosphoric acid could be removed availably,when solid-liquid mass ratio of phosphorus concentrate was 5%.It was suggested that the reaction temperature should not exceed 70 ℃ and the reaction time should be 2 h.Moreover,the solubility product of calcium sulfate in phosphoric acid was in the range of 2×10-2to 3×10-2.This study has certain guiding significance in reducing sulfate content and improving the quality of WPA production.

Key words: dilute phosphoric acid, phosphate concentrate powder, sulfate ion
