The invention relates to a method for preparing
iron phosphate from ferrophosphorus. The ferrophosphorus is used as a part or the whole of a
phosphorus source and an
iron source for preparing the
iron phosphate. The
phosphorus source or the
iron source is supplemented according to a mol ratio of (0.8-1.2):1.0 between
total phosphorus elements and total iron elements. The ferrophosphorus is roasted in a dry and
oxygen-containing
atmosphere. The
iron phosphate product is obtained by means of dry or
wet oxidation product reaction. The method adopts the ferrophosphorus as the
raw material for preparing the iron
phosphate, makes full use of elements in the ferrophosphorus and creates a novel preparing process of iron
phosphate. In addition, as the reaction process can be used for weakening or eliminating the influence of
impurity elements in the ferrophosphorus on the iron
phosphate product, the method indirectly purifies the ferrophosphorus and eliminates the influence of the impurities in the ferrophosphorus and the problem of severe
corrosion caused by the existence of water during the
roasting of ferrophosphorus. The reaction process has relatively
low demand on apparatuses. The preparing method has simple process, short production flow and low production cost, is clean and environment-friendly, realizes high
resource utilization rate, low investment and good benefit and is suitable for large-scale, industrial, low-cost and clean preparation of iron phosphate.
