Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a desulfurization process that is carried out simultaneously with the preparation of a wet phosphoric acid desulfurizing agent, and belongs to the field of wet phosphoric acid desulfurization technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, my country's wet-process phosphoric acid production mainly involves the decomposition of phosphate rock using a mixture of phosphoric and sulfuric acids. After the reaction, solid-liquid separation yields wet-process phosphoric acid and phosphogypsum. However, due to the characteristics of the wet-process phosphoric acid production process, to ensure the overall phosphorus yield and the formation of uniform, coarse calcium sulfate crystals, a suitable excess of sulfate ions is often maintained in the liquid phase of the production system. This results in the final phosphoric acid product containing a certain amount of sulfate ions, which can reach 3.0~4.5 wt%. The presence of sulfate ions affects the quality of downstream phosphoric acid products. Therefore, removing sulfate ions from wet-process phosphoric acid is a necessary process step before producing feed-grade phosphates, industrial-grade ammonium phosphate products, and purified phosphoric acid products.
[0003] Currently, the industrial approach to wet phosphoric acid desulfurization involves adding soluble calcium sources to the wet phosphoric acid process. The calcium sources react with sulfate ions to form calcium sulfate precipitate, which removes the sulfate ions. For example, patent CN104495771A discloses a method for desulfurizing dilute phosphoric acid by adding calcium-containing defluorination slag to the dilute phosphoric acid. Patent CN103754850B discloses a method for reducing the sulfate content in dihydrate dilute phosphoric acid by adding fertilizer-grade dicalcium phosphate obtained from phosphorus-containing wastewater through lime precipitation as a desulfurizing agent to the wet phosphoric acid extraction slurry. Patent CN115092898B discloses a method for removing sulfate from wet phosphoric acid using yellow phosphorus slag. This involves re-slurrying the by-product yellow phosphorus slag from the electric furnace yellow phosphorus production process and adding it to the wet dilute phosphoric acid for desulfurization with the help of additives. Patent CN117534046A discloses a method for desulfurizing phosphoric acid using sludge instead of phosphate concentrate by re-slurrying the sludge and adding it to the wet phosphoric acid process for desulfurization. However, the calcium source materials used in these patents are all solid substances with high impurity content and low calcium activity. When used for desulfurization, they not only lead to long desulfurization time and poor desulfurization effect, but also cause soluble impurities in the calcium source materials to enter the wet phosphoric acid, resulting in a decline in the quality of wet phosphoric acid. Insoluble impurities co-precipitate with calcium sulfate crystals to produce phosphogypsum solid waste that is difficult to treat.
[0004] Phosphorus tailings from wet phosphate flotation are solid wastes with low phosphorus content generated during the beneficiation of phosphate rock. Their main components are calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, phosphorus pentoxide, and silicon dioxide, with P2O5 content of 5-8 wt%, CaO ≥ 35 wt%, and MgO ≥ 15 wt%. Phosphorus tailings contain not only soluble calcium that reacts with sulfate ions but also a significant amount of phosphorus. This not only meets the desulfurization requirements of wet phosphoric acid processing but also allows for the full utilization of phosphorus in the tailings. For example, patent CN104555961A discloses a method for defluorination and desulfurization using tailings, directly adding phosphorus tailings in the form of dry powder or slurry to wet phosphoric acid or phosphorus-containing wastewater for desulfurization. However, this patent's direct use of phosphorus tailings for desulfurization results in long desulfurization times and poor desulfurization effects. Furthermore, it leads to a large amount of magnesium from the tailings entering the liquid phase of the wet phosphoric acid process, causing a surge in magnesium impurities. Simultaneously, silicon enters the solid phase, resulting in the formation of large amounts of difficult-to-treat phosphogypsum. Therefore, phosphorus tailings are not suitable for direct use in wet phosphoric acid desulfurization. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing wet phosphoric acid desulfurization technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing a wet phosphoric acid desulfurizing agent and a desulfurization process. This process uses flotation phosphate tailings to prepare a desulfurizing agent for wet phosphoric acid desulfurization, developing a new high-value comprehensive utilization pathway for low-value-added solid waste. It fully recovers and utilizes phosphorus and calcium resources in phosphate tailings, resulting in significant economic and social benefits. The liquid desulfurizing agent, with calcium dihydrogen phosphate as its main component, has high calcium element activity, simple composition, and few impurities. It has a short desulfurization time and excellent desulfurization effect, and does not increase the content of impurity elements in wet phosphoric acid. The desulfurizing agent reacts with sulfate ions in wet phosphoric acid to directly generate high-purity, high-whiteness, and clean gypsum, avoiding the generation of difficult-to-treat by-product phosphogypsum.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: using wet phosphate flotation tailings as raw material, after leaching with organic weak acid to remove magnesium, it reacts with excess phosphoric acid under the action of a catalyst, and then performs solid-liquid separation to obtain a desulfurizing agent whose main component is calcium dihydrogen phosphate. The desulfurizing agent is added to wet phosphoric acid, and after the desulfurization reaction, it is filtered to obtain desulfurized phosphoric acid and high-purity, high-whiteness cleaning gypsum.

[0014] The mass ratio of phosphorus tailings to organic weak acid is 1:2~5, the leaching reaction time is 30~60 min, and the leaching reaction temperature is 30~50℃.
[0015] In step (2), the initial phosphoric acid is industrial phosphoric acid with a P2O5 content of 40~45wt% and a sulfate content of 3.0~4.5wt%. In subsequent continuous cyclic production, the desulfurized phosphoric acid obtained in step (3) is partially reused.
[0016] The catalyst is a nitrate ester organic compound, including one or more of nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and pentylenetetrazolium nitrate.
[0017] The catalyst addition amount is 0.05~0.10 wt% of the mass of phosphoric acid.
[0018] The mass ratio of filter residue to phosphoric acid is 1:3~6, the acidolysis reaction temperature is 30~75℃, and the acidolysis reaction time is 20~90min. Preferably, the acidolysis reaction temperature is 40~60℃ and the acidolysis reaction time is 20~40min.
[0019] In step (3), the amount of desulfurizer added is such that the molar ratio of calcium content in the desulfurizer to sulfate content in wet-process phosphoric acid is 0.9~1.1:1.
[0020] The wet-process phosphoric acid has a P2O5 content of 40-45 wt% and a sulfate content of 3.0-4.5 wt%.
[0021] The desulfurization reaction temperature is 30~70℃, and the desulfurization reaction time is 30~120min. Preferably, the desulfurization reaction temperature is 30~50℃, and the desulfurization reaction time is 30~60min.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
