Abstract:
Residue obtained upon the removal of heavy metal contaminants from crude phosphoric acid by means of a dialkyldithiophosphoric acid ester and adsorbent is worked up into ecologically reliable solid matter and into a heavy metal concentrate. The solid matter and heavy metal concentrate are separated from one another by successive mechanical and chemical treatment. The sequential order of these two operational steps can be inversed.
Abstract:
A process is provided for working up dusts which have been precipitated electrostatically from the gas mixture composed essentially of carbon monoxide and phosphorus vapor produced in the electrothermal production of yellow phosphorus, which process comprises converting the dusts into a calcinate at 300.degree. to 800.degree. C. under oxidizing conditions in a first step, leaching the calcinate with phosphoric acid in a second step, adjusting the pH of the solution in phosphoric acid to 0 to 1.5 with sodium hydroxide solution in a third step, precipitating the sulfides of lead, copper and cadmium from the partially neutralized solution in phosphoric acid by adding sulfide and filtering them off in a fourth step, adjusting the pH of the filtered, partially neutralized solution in phosphoric acid to about 1.5 to 5.0 with sodium hydroxide solution and precipitating zinc sulfide, if necessary by adding further quantities of sulfide, and filtering it off in a fifth step, further neutralizing the sodium phosphate solution, if necessary after expelling excess sulfide, with sodium hydroxide solution and separating it from precipitated calcium compounds in a sixth step, and using the resultant sodium phosphate solution in this form in a known manner to produce sodium phosphate salts.
Abstract:
Crude phosphoric acid is made by subjecting crude phosphate ore containing sulfide to processing treatment with a mineral acid in a closed system comprised of a processing reactor, a filtering zone and an off-gas scrubbing zone. To this end, a soluble compound of a metal forming difficultly soluble sulfides in the respective acid medium is added either(A) during the processing operation the phosphate ore is subjected to or(B) during the scrubbing operation the off-gas is subjected toand the resulting sulfide precipitate is filtered off in case (A) together with further matter precipitated during the processing operation and, in case (B) separated from the scrubbing liquid.
Abstract:
Wet-process phosphoric acid is made by subjecting a phosphate ore to processing treatment with a mineral acid resulting in the formation of a processed suspension. The formation of silicofluorides is obviated by adding, either to the phosphate ore or the processed suspension, a quantity of an aluminum compound soluble in phosphoric acid sufficent for the processed suspension to present an aluminum concentration of 0.3 to 1.0 wgt %, based on P.sub.2 O.sub.5.

Abstract:
A continuous process is indicated for complete removal of organic impurities from and complete decolorization of pre-purified wet-process phosphoric acid which has been purified by an extractive method using an organic solvent, freed from residual hydrofluoric acid by steam stripping and treated with hydrogen peroxide at elevated temperature, which comprises mixing the pre-purified wet-process phosphoric acid and the hydrogen peroxide in a mixing zone at a temperature of from 100.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably 140.degree. to 160.degree. C., and allowing them to react at this temperature for a further 1 to 4 hours, cooling to from 85.degree. to 90.degree. C. the pre-purified wet-process phosphoric acid treated in this way and pumping it at this temperature with exclusion of air firstly through an activated charcoal bed which has been prepared on the basis of peat and has been steam-activated and has a BET surface area of from 800 to 1000 m.sup.2 /g, and subsequently through a silicon carbide and/or graphite bed while maintaining a pumping rate of less than 0.5 m.sup.3 /h of wet-process phosphoric acid per m.sup.3 of activated charcoal bed.
Abstract:
Metallic constituents, especially heavy metal constituents are removed from dust electrostatically separated from a gas mixture consisting substantially of carbon monoxide and phosphorus in vapor form obtained during the electrothermal production of yellow phosphorus. To this end, the dust is initially calcined with continuous agitation under oxidizing conditions at temperatures of 300.degree. to 800.degree. C.; next, the resulting calcined matter is mixed with carbon and the mixture is treated at temperatures of 950.degree. to 1200.degree. C. under reducing conditions with volatilization of the metallic constituents; and the volatized metallic constituents are ultimately condensed and separated.
