Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wet-process phosphoric acid defluorination extractant and a wet-process phosphoric acid extraction defluorination method, belonging to the technical field of chemical industry. Background Art

[0002] Defluorination is a key step in balancing environmental protection, cost and product quality in the processing of wet-process phosphoric acid. The difficulty lies in efficient separation and resource utilization. Fluorine in wet-process phosphoric acid (in the form of free HF, SiF62-, AlF63-, etc.) will reduce the purity of the product and affect downstream applications. For example: food-grade / electronic-grade phosphoric acid requires a fluorine content of less than 10ppm, otherwise it will corrode equipment or affect food safety; fluorine in fertilizer production will cause phosphate fertilizer to agglomerate or soil pollution. In addition, fluoride is toxic, and the HF gas volatilized during the processing will corrode equipment and endanger the health of workers. Fluorine-containing wastewater and exhaust gas emissions may cause pollution to surrounding soil and water bodies (such as chronic diseases such as fluorosis). In production, HF and fluorosilicic acid will corrode stainless steel and glass-lined equipment, increasing maintenance costs.

[0003] The traditional defluorination method has the following defects: calcium salt precipitation method introduces Ca 2+ Impurities require secondary purification; the evaporation concentration method has high energy consumption and is prone to generating silica gel to clog the equipment; the existing extraction process cannot directly process low-concentration fluorosilicic acid (<1.5%), and the loss rate of phosphoric acid is high; the recovery rate of fluorine and silicon resources is low, and the coupled utilization of the phosphorus, fluorine and silicon industries has not been realized.

[0004] CN118125452A discloses a method for converting hydrofluoric acid and fluorosilicic acid, by-products of phosphate rock, into anhydrous hydrogen fluoride with low energy consumption. The method comprises: a. extraction; b. inorganic alkali stripping; or inorganic salt stripping; c. removing water from the aqueous fluorosilicate solution to obtain a fluorosilicate solid; d. pyrolysis; or acidolysis. The present invention is different from the currently used method of preparing anhydrous hydrogen fluoride from dilute fluorosilicic acid, a by-product of phosphate rock.

[0005] Compared with the process of silicon tetrafluoride, the invention has a wide range of applications, the difficulty of the fluosilicic acid preparation process is reduced, and the production energy consumption is greatly reduced; the economic value of the invention lies in the ability to simultaneously obtain high-value fluorination products, high-purity silicon tetrafluoride gas and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride gas, and the final products are all recycled or can be used as

[0006] The product is sold, and no by-products or waste require further treatment. However, it has limitations: it is only applicable to fluorosilicic acid, a by-product of phosphate rock, which requires defluorination first and cannot be directly used in wet-process phosphoric acid systems; it does not address the problem of phosphoric acid entrainment losses; it lacks a pretreatment process, and is not adaptable to low-concentration fluorine.

KOH solution was added to oil phase 1 for back extraction. The volume ratio of KOH solution to organic phase was 1:2. The reaction was allowed to proceed at 30°C for 40 minutes, and after stratification, the extractant was separated 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 with a moisture content of less than 0.1% after drying. The filtrate was cooled, crystallized, and filtered to produce potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals. The filtered mother liquor was then dissolved with KOH and returned to the back extraction process. The oil phase is heated to 50°C for 2 minutes, allowed to stand for 40 minutes, and then separated. The resulting oil phase 3 is trioctylamine, which is recovered for re-extraction. The aqueous phase 3 is water, which can dissolve KOH and then be returned 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 a gas bag. After the reaction is complete, the pyrolyzed solid KF is collected as a byproduct. The SiF4 gas is purified by cryogenic distillation with liquid nitrogen and further recovered. The final gas purity is >95%. In this case, the final fluorine extraction rate reached 18.86%, and the phosphoric acid extraction rate was 6.82%.
