Abstract |
The report gives results of laboratory studies to determine the feasibility of a new phosphoric acid process involving dry mining of the matrix, calcination, and digestion with phosphoric/sulfuric acid mixtures (five types of Florida phosphate matrices were used). Process steps included upgrading the matrix by dry methods, calcination in a static bed, and digestion comparable to commercial dihydrate processes. The matrix samples were upgraded by removing clay by selective grinding and air classification, and by separation of the sand fraction electrostatically. Typical clay removal values were 80-90% at a phosphate loss of 15-25%. Calcination produced an acceptable phosphoric acid from good quality matrix, but failed to reject metal impurities sufficiently to permit processing of poor-to-average matrix. Calcination eliminated the interference of clay in the digestion and filtration steps. Addition of mineralizers had only marginal effect on metal solubility. |
