Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of phosphorus chemical technology, specifically relating to a high-purity urea phosphate and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Urea phosphate is an important organophosphate compound that integrates nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. It possesses characteristics such as good water solubility, mild acidity, and strong complexing ability, making it irreplaceable in applications such as ruminant feed additives, high-efficiency nitrogen-phosphorus compound fertilizers, industrial acidic cleaning agents, metal surface treatment agents, and flame-retardant material intermediates. With the rapid development of high-end manufacturing, fine chemicals, modern agriculture, and electronic chemicals industries, the market demand for high-purity, high-crystallinity, and low-impurity urea phosphate products continues to increase, especially with more stringent control requirements for harmful impurities such as fluorine, iron, aluminum, and heavy metals.
[0003] Currently, the industrial production of urea phosphate mainly uses wet-process phosphoric acid or thermal-process phosphoric acid as raw materials. These materials undergo a complexation reaction with urea under heating conditions, followed by cooling crystallization, solid-liquid separation, and drying to obtain the final product. Wet-process phosphoric acid is the preferred raw material for large-scale urea phosphate production due to its wide availability, low production cost, and large production capacity. However, existing production technologies have long faced several insurmountable challenges, severely restricting the stable preparation of high-purity urea phosphate.
[0004] First, wet-process phosphoric acid itself contains various trace impurity ions such as fluorine, iron, aluminum, magnesium, sulfate, and heavy metals. During the crystal growth of urea phosphate, these ions can easily enter the crystal through adsorption, encapsulation, and lattice substitution. Conventional methods such as filtration, decolorization, and settling can only remove some suspended impurities and cannot achieve deep removal of ionic impurities. This results in low product purity, high impurity content, and poor storage stability, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-end applications.
[0005] Secondly, in order to improve crystal form and particle size distribution, traditional processes usually add organic crystallization aids such as polyethylene glycol, polyacrylate, and lignosulfonate. These aids can only play a role in dispersing, reducing viscosity, or inhibiting agglomeration on the crystal surface. They cannot prevent impurities from entering the crystal lattice from the crystal growth mechanism level. There is a clear upper limit to the improvement of purity, making it difficult to achieve stable preparation of ultra-high purity products. In addition, the residue of organic aids will also affect the applicability of the product in electronic and food-grade fields.
[0006] Furthermore, existing crystallization processes generally employ complex operations such as gradient cooling, segmented temperature control, and multi-stage variable-speed stirring. These processes are not only lengthy, energy-intensive, and difficult to control, but also cause uneven crystal growth, increased crystal defects, and exacerbated impurity encapsulation. Simultaneously, impurities accumulate in the mother liquor after multiple cycles, further degrading product quality. This necessitates the discharge of a portion of the mother liquor to maintain system stability, resulting in raw material loss, reduced yield, and environmental pressure.
[0007] Finally, to obtain high-purity urea phosphate, existing technologies often only allow the use of high-cost thermal phosphoric acid as raw material, or secondary or even multiple recrystallizations of the crude product. Although such methods can improve purity to some extent, they significantly increase energy consumption, solvent consumption, and equipment investment, reduce the overall yield, and greatly increase production costs, making it impossible to achieve low-cost, high-efficiency, and green large-scale industrial production.
[0008] In summary, how to simplify the crystallization process, improve crystal regularity, and reduce impurity content to prepare high-purity urea phosphate under a low-cost wet phosphoric acid route has become an urgent technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

(5) Crystallize at a constant temperature of 45-50℃ for 2.5-3.5h; (6) Separate, wash and dry to obtain urea phosphate.
[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (2), the Ca / P molar ratio is 0.015.
[0012] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (1), wet phosphoric acid is preheated to 65-70°C, stirred at 20-30 r / min, and stirred stably for 10-15 min.
[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (1), the urea aqueous solution is preheated to 50-60°C.

[0015] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (3), the reaction temperature is 75-80°C, the dropping time is 90-120 min, and the reaction is kept at the temperature for 2 h.
[0016] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (3), the nanofiltration membrane has a molecular weight cutoff of 100 Da, an operating pressure of 1.2-1.6 MPa, and a circulation flow rate of 40-50 L / h.
[0017] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (5), the centrifugation speed is 3000-4000 r / min, and the centrifugation time is 10-20 min; the washing water is ultrapure water, and the amount used is 5-10% of the wet mass of the crystal.
[0018] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying temperature is 55-60℃, the vacuum degree is -0.085--0.095MPa, and the drying time is 2.0-2.5h.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the high-purity urea phosphate and its preparation method provided by this invention are: (1) The preparation method of high-purity urea phosphate provided by the present invention generates nano-calcium phosphate seed crystals in situ in the strong acidic system of urea phosphate. The seed crystal structure is stable, insoluble, and does not change crystals. It has a high degree of matching with the orthorhombic crystal system of urea phosphate, and can achieve directional induction from the crystal growth starting point. It excludes impurity ions such as fluorine, iron, aluminum, and magnesium from the inside of the crystal lattice, and solves the industry problem of traditional processes being unable to prevent crystal embedding from the root. It forms a dual guarantee of pretreatment impurity removal and crystal lattice impurity suppression with wet phosphoric acid raw material purification, which significantly improves the purity and crystal integrity of the product. (2) The preparation method of high-purity urea phosphate provided by the present invention combines complexation reaction with online impurity removal by nanofiltration membrane, so as to realize the simultaneous generation and removal of ionic impurities, avoid the accumulation of impurities caused by mother liquor circulation, and form a synergistic impurity removal system of internal repulsion and external removal with seed-induced crystallization; at the same time, constant temperature one-step crystallization is used instead of traditional gradient cooling, so that the crystal growth is more uniform, the crystal shape is more regular, and the particle size is more concentrated, which significantly improves the product's fluidity, water solubility and stability, and no organic additives are used throughout the process, so there is no risk of residue, which can meet the high-purity application scenarios such as electronics, food, and high-end cleaning. (3) The preparation method of high-purity urea phosphate provided by the present invention has a simple process flow, low energy consumption, and is easy to industrialize. The nanofiltration system can realize nearly 100% recycling of the mother liquor, with basically no wastewater discharge, which can greatly reduce raw material loss and environmental pressure. Compared with the prior art, this solution can obtain ultra-high purity products without secondary recrystallization, with lower production costs and better product consistency. It achieves green and efficient production while improving quality, and has significant economic value and industrialization prospects. Detailed Implementation
