Abstract: Suspension crystallization was adopted to purify phosphoric acid with industrial grade phosphoric acid as raw material.Influences of sulfuric acid,hydrochloric acid,hydrofluoric acid,polyacrylic acid,tartaric acid,citric acid,EDTA-2Na,and sodium dodecylbenzensulfonate on phosphoric acid purification effect were investigated respectively.Experimental results indicated that the effects of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid on purification were better than others.Then the influences of their mass fractions on phosphoric acid purification were studied,it was found that the optimal mass fractions of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid were 0.2% and 0.8% respectively.Under those optimal conditions, phosphoric acid was re-crystallized.Results showed that there was a better purification effect with hydrofluoric acid as the additive and the concentration of Fe3+ and Al3+ were both under 1 mg/kg.
