Abstract:

In order to improve the wet phosphoric acid process,enhance the quality of by-product phosphogypsum and reduce the economic and environmental pressure caused by the accumulation of solid by-products of wet phosphoric acid,an experiment was carried out to produce phosphoric acid from industrial phosphoric acid decomposing phosphate rock,at the same time,the properties of solid by-products were analyzed.The process of decomposing phosphate rock to phosphoric acid by industrial phosphoric acid was divided into two steps:The first step was the reaction of industrial phosphoric acid with phosphate rock to obtain calcium dihydrogen phosphate solution and acid-insoluble slag.The second step was to the reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid with calcium dihydrogen phosphate solution to obtain phosphoric acid solution and high purity gypsum.The effects of acid ratio(the amount-of-substance ratio of industrial phosphoric acid dosage to theortical phosphoric acid dosage),phosphate rock particle size,reaction temperature and reaction time on leaching rate were investigated by single factor test.The results showed that the suitable technological conditions for acidolysis of phosphate rock were as follows:the acid ratio was 6.8,grinding fineness less than 0.074 mm accounted for 60%,reaction temperature was 50 ℃,reaction time was 2.5 h.The leaching rate of phosphorus in phosphate rock after acid hydrolysis could reach 87.69%.In the solid by-products produced after the reaction,the mass fraction of high-purity gypsum was 35.32%,and the mass fraction of acid-insoluble slag was 64.68%.The purity of CaSO4·2H2O in high-purity gypsum was 95.80%,which was of high value for industrial use and was beneficial to increase the utilization of solid by-products of wet-process phosphoric acid.

Key words: industrial phosphoric acid, phosphate rock decomposition, wet-process phosphoric acid, by-product phosphogyp-sum, high-purity gypsum
