Abstract: Potassium dihydrogen phosphate has an important practical value in the current phosphate industry,and it was also applied in many industries,such as industry,agriculture,pharmacy,and foodstuff.To produce higher-quality potassium dihydrogen phosphate with lower cost of raw materials and simpler process is today′s need.Potassium dihydrogen phosphate was prepared by organic solvent extraction process with wet-process phosphoric acid and potassium chloride as raw materials. The study contents included:the influence of amount-of-substance ratio of potassium chloride to phosphoric acid on removal rate of F- during the solution preparation;the influence-of-amount of substance ratio of potassium chloride to phosphoric acid,reaction time,reaction temperature,and extraction phase ratio on extraction rate and impurities removal effect;the influence of different washing phase ratios on washing rate of the high-quality P2O5;relevant back-extracted and potassium dihydrogen phosphate concentrated crystallization processes etc..Optimum conditions for preparing high-quality potassium dihydrogen phosphate were obtained as follows:reaction temperature of 60 ℃,reaction time of 30 min,amount-of-substance ratio of potassium chloride to phosphoric acid of 1.0,and washing phase ratio of 12.Under those conditions the product purity was 97% and the recovery rate of P2O5 reached 96%,which met the first grate requirement of agricultural standard.
