Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for wet processing of phosphate rock, belonging to the technical field of chemical industry. Background Art
[0002] Phosphorus chemical industry is a vital component of the chemical industry. Wet-process phosphoric acid, a fundamental intermediate product in the phosphate fertilizer and compound fertilizer industries, plays a vital role and enjoys high demand. Currently, phosphoric acid production relies on high-grade phosphate rock (there are no strict standards for phosphate rock grade; industry insiders typically categorize it as follows: high-grade: P2O5 ≥ 30%, medium-grade: 24% ≤ P2O5 < 30%, and low-grade: P2O5 < 24%. Enterprise standards stipulate that phosphate rock used for wet-process processing should have a P2O5 content of ≥ 28%.). However, as rich phosphate deposits gradually become depleted and production costs rise, the utilization of medium- and low-grade phosphate rock has attracted attention.
[0003] The wet processing of low- and medium-grade phosphate rock produces a large amount of impurities, which can affect product quality and subsequent applications. Obtaining high-purity products through wet processing of phosphate rock is of great significance.

This method involves reacting carbonamide urea (CO(NH2)2) with wet-process phosphoric acid to produce an intermediate, which is then reacted with sodium hydroxide to produce the sodium dihydrogen phosphate product. The method features a short process route, low energy consumption, stable product quality, low production costs, convenient operation, and safe production. The byproduct slurry can also be fully recycled and reused. The entire production process is environmentally friendly, clean, and pollution-free, with no waste gas, wastewater, or waste residue emitted. This method addresses the policy call for energy conservation, emission reduction, and clean production, and overcomes the problems of complex processes, unstable product quality, high energy consumption, and environmental pollution in existing technologies. The resulting sodium dihydrogen phosphate product has a purity of ≥98%. However, its purity is insufficient, and sample diversity is poor.

The present invention uses wet-process phosphoric acid extraction instead of thermal phosphoric acid to prepare industrial-grade potassium dihydrogen phosphate, achieving the purpose of reducing production costs and improving product market competitiveness. It also has the problems of insufficient purity and poor sample diversity.
[0006] CN201010543993.9 discloses a method for producing industrial potassium dihydrogen phosphate and nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer by an extraction process using wet-process purified phosphoric acid as the raw material. The method uses wet-process purified phosphoric acid and potassium chloride as the raw materials, and uses octanol and octyl ammonium as the extractants for extraction. The aqueous phase is cooled and crystallized to obtain the potassium dihydrogen phosphate product. The organic phase is stirred with a saturated ammonium chloride solution for back extraction, and the mother liquor after back extraction is cooled and crystallized to obtain the nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer as a byproduct. The product obtained by this method is highly pure. By using octanol and octyl ammonium as the extractants to modify the chemical composition and H value of the aqueous phase, it can achieve both selective separation of specific components and broad-spectrum separation of multiple components. The method provides high extraction efficiency and good selectivity, and the extractant is easily regenerated by back extraction.

The mixture is allowed to stand for phase separation, and the organic phase of the coupled phosphoric acid is the extract, and the remaining phosphoric acid is the raffinate. Potassium chloride is added to the extract to react, and the mixture is allowed to stand for phase separation, resulting in a lower layer of a crude potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and an upper layer of an organic phase rich in hydrochloric acid, a small amount of phosphoric acid and potassium chloride. After filtering the crude potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, potassium hydroxide is added to the filtrate to adjust the solution H to about 6. After standing and settling, impurities are filtered out to obtain a refined potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. Purified phosphoric acid is added to the refined potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to adjust the pH to 4-5. The obtained solution is concentrated, crystallized, filtered and dried to obtain a potassium dihydrogen phosphate product. It has the problems of low purity and poor sample diversity.

It has the problems of insufficient purity and poor sample diversity.
[0010] CN200910272379.0 discloses a method for removing metal ions from wet-process phosphoric acid, comprising the following steps: 1) adding alkaline partially hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile fibers to deionized water and stirring, followed by natural filtration, and then rinsing the filter cake until the pH of the liquid flowing out from the bottom of the Büchner funnel reaches 8. When no liquid flows out from the bottom, wet polyacrylonitrile ion exchange fibers are produced; 2) filling the wet polyacrylonitrile ion exchange fibers between the polypropylene cotton of a fiber filter and a cylindrical shell, connecting the phosphoric acid outlet pipe of an electrodialysis device to the inlet pipe of the fiber filter, and the outlet pipe of the fiber filter is connected to a phosphoric acid storage tank. The outlet pipe is then pumped into the electrodialysis device for circulation, passing the wet-process phosphoric acid through the electrodialysis device, while the fiber filter and the electrodialysis device are operated simultaneously.

An extracting solution prepared by using an acidic extractant and a diluent is used to directly extract impure metal cations such as iron ions, magnesium ions, aluminum ions, and manganese ions from the raffinate acid. The acidic extractant has good selectivity for extracting metal ions, carries little phosphoric acid during the extraction process, and can achieve a phosphoric acid recovery rate of over 90%. The iron ions, aluminum ions, magnesium ions, and manganese ions in the raffinate acid purified by the method of the present invention are all adsorbed into the extractant, thereby effectively purifying the raffinate acid. The iron ion recovery rate can reach 90%, the aluminum ion recovery rate can reach 50%, the magnesium ion recovery rate can reach 50%, and the manganese ion recovery rate can reach 50%. However, the phosphoric acid recovery rate of this raffinate acid purification process is still low, and the metal ions cannot be separated, making them difficult to recycle and reuse, resulting in low added value.

[0091] Example 1
[0092] Wet-process phosphoric acid is produced from low-grade phosphate rock with a 10% P2O5 content. Phosphate rock, 98% sulfuric acid, and 20% dilute phosphoric acid are added to a decomposition tank in a specific ratio. The solid-liquid ratio is set at 5:1, the reaction temperature is controlled at 80°C, and the pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to 1.0. The agitator is turned on and the reaction is stirred for 6 hours. The dilute acid concentration is maintained above 10%. After the reaction is completed, the phosphoric acid slurry is passed through a filtration device, where it is filtered to produce wet-process phosphoric acid with a 25% P2O5 content and phosphogypsum.
[0093] Before the metal ions are removed by solvent extraction, the wet-process phosphoric acid is pretreated with decalcification. The decalcification agent is ammonium sulfate, the amount of the decalcification agent is 1.2 times the theoretical amount, the reaction temperature is 60° C., the reaction time is 40 minutes, the aging time is 1 hour, and the pretreated phosphoric acid is obtained after filtration.
[0094] Then extract wet-process phosphoric acid to remove metal ions:
[0095] (1) Extraction: Wet-process phosphoric acid was subjected to three-stage three-stage countercurrent extraction. The extraction temperature of each stage was 60°C, and the O / A ratio was 4:1 (volume ratio).
[0096] (2) Washing: The metal ion-loaded extractant is first subjected to two-stage countercurrent washing in dilute phosphoric acid with a concentration of 1 wt.% P2O5 at a temperature of 50°C and an O / A ratio of 3:1 (volume ratio) to recover the phosphoric acid entrained in the extractant and improve the P2O5 yield in the phosphoric acid purification process.
[0097] (3) Stripping 1: Using 35 wt.% ammonium sulfate solution and 1 wt.% sulfuric acid solution as stripping agent 1, the metal ion-loaded extractant is subjected to two-stage three-stage countercurrent stripping. The stripping temperature of each stage is 30°C, and the O / A ratio is 2:1 (volume ratio), to obtain stripping solution 1 and organic phase 1. Stripping solution 1 is evaporated and concentrated, filtered to obtain calcium sulfate; the filtrate is continuously cooled to 80°C to obtain ammonium manganese sulfate; cooled to 50°C to obtain ammonium magnesium sulfate; cooled to 10°C to obtain mixed crystals of potassium magnesium sulfate and sodium magnesium sulfate; this step classifies and recovers calcium, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and sodium ions.
[0098] (4) Washing 1: The organic phase 1 was washed with a dilute ammonium sulfate solution having a concentration of 0.1 wt.% in two stages in countercurrent at a temperature of 30° C. and a phase O / A ratio of 3:1 (volume ratio) to recover the ammonium sulfate entrained in the organic phase 1.

[0100] (6) Washing 2: The organic phase 2 is washed with dilute sulfuric acid having a concentration of 5 wt.% in two-stage countercurrent at a temperature of 30°C and an O / A ratio of 3:1 (volume ratio). The sulfuric acid entrained in the organic phase 2 is recovered and returned to the stripping agent 1 for recycling.
[0101] (7) Stripping 3: Using 10 wt.% oxalic acid solution as stripping agent 3, the organic phase 2 is subjected to two-stage countercurrent stripping at a temperature of 50°C and an O / A ratio of 1:1 (volume ratio) to obtain stripping solution 3 and organic phase 3. The stripping solution 3 is treated with ultraviolet light to obtain ferrous oxalate precipitate.
[0102] (8) Washing 3: The organic phase 3 is washed in two stages in countercurrent with dilute oxalic acid having a concentration of 1 wt.% at a temperature of 50°C and an O / A ratio of 3:1 (volume ratio). The oxalic acid entrained in the organic phase 3 is recovered to obtain a regenerated extractant that can be recycled.
[0103] The extractant is returned to the wet-process phosphoric acid for recycling.
[0104] After extraction, the metal ion content in phosphoric acid dropped to 0.58 wt.% Al2O3, 0.92 wt.% MgO, 0.21 wt.% Fe2O3, and 0.67 wt.% CaO, with a MER value of 0.095. (The metal ion content is mainly determined by the MER value, which is the ratio of the sum of the metal ion content to the phosphorus pentoxide content. Industrially, this value is below 0.1, and the metal ions have little impact on subsequent processes.) The P2O5 content was 25 wt.%, and the F content was 0.46 wt.%.
[0105] Silicon dioxide was added to wet-process phosphoric acid in an amount of 1.2 times the theoretical value. The mixture was reacted at 40° C. for 40 minutes and aged for 1 hour. The pretreated wet-process phosphoric acid was obtained after filtration.
[0106] Extraction is then carried out at 40°C. A 2:1 volume ratio of extractant and wet-process phosphoric acid (F concentration: 0.46 wt% and P2O5 concentration: 25 wt%) are added to the reactor. The extractant composition is trioctylamine (TOA): n-octanol: sulfonated kerosene (volume ratio: 0.15:0.20:0.65). After 60 minutes, the phases are separated to produce aqueous phase 1 and oil phase 1, which is the purified wet-process phosphoric acid. KOH aqueous solution is added to oil phase 1 for back extraction. The volume ratio of KOH aqueous solution to organic phase is 1:2. The reaction is allowed to proceed at 30°C for 40 minutes, followed by stratification and separation to produce aqueous phase 2 and oil phase 2. Aqueous phase 2 is heated and filtered at 70°C. The filtrate is a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. The filter cake is dried at 120°C for 6 hours to produce potassium fluorosilicate solid with a moisture content of less than 0.1% after drying. The filtrate is cooled, crystallized, and filtered to produce potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals. The filtered mother liquor can be dissolved with KOH and returned to the back extraction stage. The oil phase is heated to 50°C for 40 minutes, allowed to stand for stratification, and then separated to obtain oil phase 3, trioctylamine, which is recovered and recycled for extraction. The aqueous phase 3 is water, which can dissolve KOH and return to the stripping stage. The dried filter cake, K2SiF6, is ground and calcined at 500°C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. The SiF4 gas is collected using an air bag. After the reaction is complete, the solid KF after pyrolysis is collected and recovered as a byproduct. The SiF4 gas is purified by liquid nitrogen cryogenic distillation and further recovered. The final gas purity is >95%.

The water phase is used as the washing water for phosphogypsum. The washing water is returned to the phosphoric acid leaching tank. The phase separation temperature is 60°C and the phase separation time is 3 minutes.

A reaction kettle is charged with an extractant (TOA:n-octanol:sulfonated kerosene) in a volume ratio of 2:1 and wet-process phosphoric acid (0.65 wt% F and 30 wt% P2O5) (total iodine, n-octanol, 0.15:0.2:0.65).

[0249] Silicon dioxide was added to wet-process phosphoric acid in an amount of 1.2 times the theoretical value. The mixture was reacted at 40° C. for 40 minutes and aged for 1 hour. The pretreated wet-process phosphoric acid was obtained after filtration.
[0250] The purified phosphoric acid, free of metal ions, was subjected to extractive defluorination. Extraction was performed at 40°C. A 1.5:1 ratio (volume ratio) of extractant and wet-process phosphoric acid with a 1.46 wt% F concentration and a 45 wt% P2O5 concentration was added to a reactor. The extractant composition was TOA:n-octanol:sulfonated kerosene (volume ratio = 0.15:0.15:0.70). After 60 minutes, the extractant was separated to produce aqueous phase 1 and oil phase 1, which is the purified wet-process phosphoric acid. K2SO4 solution was added to the oil phase 1 for back extraction. The volume ratio of K2SO4 solution to organic phase was 1:2. The reaction was allowed to stand at 30°C for 40 minutes, followed by separation to produce aqueous phase 2 and oil phase 2. Aqueous phase 2 was heated and filtered at 70°C. The filtrate was a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. The filter cake was dried at 120°C for 6 hours to produce potassium fluorosilicate solid. The moisture content after drying was less than 0.1%. The filtrate is cooled, crystallized, and filtered to obtain potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals. The filtered mother liquor can dissolve K2SO4 and then return to the stripping stage. Ammonia water is added to the oil phase 2 for secondary stripping. After standing for 40 minutes and stratification, the liquid is separated to obtain oil phase 3 as trioctylamine, which is recycled and extracted. The aqueous phase 3 is an ammonium sulfate salt solution. The dried filter cake fluorosilicate K2SiF6 is ground and calcined at 500°C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. The SiF4 gas is collected using an air bag. After the reaction is complete, the solid KF after pyrolysis is collected as a by-product. The SiF4 gas is further recovered after purification by liquid nitrogen low-temperature distillation. The final gas purity is >95%. In this example, the final fluorine extraction rate reaches 90.02%, the phosphoric acid extraction rate is 28.43%, the P2O5 content is 32.21wt.%, and the F content is 0.146wt.%.
[0251] After removing metal ions and fluoride ions, the Al2O3 content in the purified wet-process phosphoric acid is 0.54wt.%, the MgO content is 1.15wt.%, the Fe2O3 content is 0.69wt.%, the CaO content is 0.65wt.%, and the MER value is 0.067.
[0252] The P2O5 content is 32.21wt.%, and the F content is 0.146wt.%.
[0253] Finally, purified phosphoric acid is used to produce DCP. Calcium oxide is added as a neutralizing agent to the purified wet-process phosphoric acid, which has been free of metal ions and fluoride ions. This is then added to the reactor at a mass ratio of 1:1.3 (solution:mixture). The reaction temperature is maintained at 75°C and the pH is controlled at 3.5 to produce a slurry. A filter press is used to separate the slurry into a solid rich in DCP and a mother liquor. The solid is washed and dried to produce the final product. The mother liquor is returned to the washing section of the phosphate rock decomposition process to produce wet-process phosphoric acid and used to wash the filtered phosphogypsum, thus achieving resource recycling.
[0254] Comparative Example 1
[0255] Wet-process phosphoric acid is produced from low-grade phosphate rock with a 20% P2O5 content. Phosphate rock, 98% sulfuric acid, and 20% dilute phosphoric acid are added to a decomposition tank in a specific ratio. The solid-liquid ratio is set at 5:1, the reaction temperature is controlled at 80°C, and the pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to 1.0. The agitator is turned on and the reaction is stirred for 6 hours. The dilute acid concentration is maintained above 10%. After the reaction is completed, the phosphoric acid slurry is passed through a filtration device, where it is filtered to produce wet-process phosphoric acid with a 30% P2O5 content and phosphogypsum.

[0260] (3) Stripping 1: Using 35 wt.% ammonium sulfate solution and 1 wt.% sulfuric acid solution as stripping agent 1, the metal ion-loaded extractant is subjected to two-stage three-stage countercurrent stripping. The stripping temperature of each stage is 30°C, and the O / A ratio is 2:1 (volume ratio), to obtain stripping solution 1 and organic phase 1. Stripping solution 1 is evaporated and concentrated, filtered to obtain calcium sulfate; the filtrate is continuously cooled to 80°C to obtain ammonium manganese sulfate; cooled to 50°C to obtain ammonium magnesium sulfate; cooled to 10°C to obtain mixed crystals of potassium magnesium sulfate and sodium magnesium sulfate; this step classifies and recovers calcium, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and sodium ions.

[0263] (6) Washing 2: The organic phase 2 is washed with dilute sulfuric acid having a concentration of 5 wt.% in two-stage countercurrent at a temperature of 30°C and an O / A ratio of 3:1 (volume ratio). The sulfuric acid entrained in the organic phase 2 is recovered and returned to the stripping agent 1 for recycling.
[0264] (7) Stripping 3: Using 10 wt.% oxalic acid solution as stripping agent 3, the organic phase 2 is subjected to two-stage countercurrent stripping at a temperature of 50°C and an O / A ratio of 1:1 (volume ratio) to obtain stripping solution 3 and organic phase 3.

[0265] (8) Washing 3: The organic phase 3 is washed in two stages in countercurrent with dilute oxalic acid having a concentration of 1 wt.% at a temperature of 50°C and an O / A ratio of 3:1 (volume ratio). The oxalic acid entrained in the organic phase 3 is recovered to obtain a regenerated extractant that can be recycled.
[0266] The extractant is returned to the wet-process phosphoric acid for recycling.
[0267] After extraction, the metal ion content in phosphoric acid dropped to 0.58 wt.% Al2O3, 1.14 wt.% MgO, 0.25 wt.% Fe2O3, 0.54 wt.% CaO, with a MER value of 0.084, 30 wt.% P2O5, and 0.68 wt.% F.
[0268] Silicon dioxide was added to wet-process phosphoric acid in an amount of 1.2 times the theoretical value. The mixture was reacted at 40° C. for 40 minutes and aged for 1 hour. The pretreated wet-process phosphoric acid was obtained after filtration.
[0269] Extraction is then carried out at 40°C. A separatory funnel is charged with an extractant (trioctylamine (TOA) / n-octanol / sulfonated kerosene) in a 1:1 volume ratio, along with wet-process phosphoric acid (0.68 wt% F and 30 wt% P2O5). The extractant composition is trioctylamine (TOA), n-octanol, and sulfonated kerosene (0.05:0.15:0.80). After 60 minutes, the phases separate to produce aqueous phase 1 and oil phase 1, which is the purified wet-process phosphoric acid. KOH aqueous solution is added to oil phase 1 for back extraction. The volume ratio of KOH aqueous solution to organic phase is 1:2. The reaction is allowed to proceed at 30°C for 40 minutes, followed by stratification and separation to produce aqueous phase 2 and oil phase 2. Aqueous phase 2 is heated and filtered at 70°C. The filtrate is a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. The filter cake is dried at 120°C for 6 hours to produce potassium fluorosilicate solid. The moisture content after drying is less than 0.1%. The filtrate is cooled, crystallized, and filtered to yield potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals. The filtered mother liquor can be used to dissolve KOH and return to the stripping stage. The oil phase 2 is heated to 50°C, allowed to stand for 40 minutes, and then separated to yield trioctylamine (Olive Phase 3), which is recovered for recycling and extraction. The aqueous phase 3, water, can dissolve KOH and return to the stripping stage. The dried filter cake, K2SiF6 fluorosilicate, is ground and calcined at 500°C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. SiF4 gas is collected using an air bag. After the reaction is complete, the pyrolyzed solid KF is collected as a byproduct and recovered. The SiF4 gas is purified by cryogenic distillation with liquid nitrogen and further recovered. The final gas purity is >95%. In this example, the final fluorine extraction rate reached 28.86%, the phosphoric acid extraction rate was 6.82%, the P2O5 content was 27.95 wt.%, and the F content was 0.484 wt.%.
[0270] Finally, purified phosphoric acid is used to produce DCP. Calcium oxide is added as a neutralizing agent to the purified wet-process phosphoric acid, which has been free of metal ions and fluoride ions. This is then added to the reactor at a mass ratio of 1:1.3 (solution:mixture). The reaction temperature is maintained at 75°C and the pH is controlled at 3.5 to produce a slurry. A filter press is used to separate the slurry into a solid rich in DCP and a mother liquor. The solid is washed and dried to produce the final product. The mother liquor is returned to the washing section of the phosphate rock decomposition process to produce wet-process phosphoric acid and used to wash the filtered phosphogypsum, thus achieving resource recycling.
