Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of phosphoric acid purification technology, specifically to a method and system for preparing purified phosphoric acid using centrifugal extraction technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the mainstream purification technologies for phosphoric acid mainly include the following:
[0003] (1) Membrane separation technology
[0004] Membrane separation technology utilizes the selective permeation principle of semi-permeable membranes to separate substances through physical sieving, electrostatic repulsion, and solute diffusion. This technology is primarily used for preparing high-purity phosphoric acid (electronic / food grade). However, the membranes are expensive, and pretreatment of the original acid is required, necessitating high acid quality standards. This results in high costs and makes the technology unsuitable for large-scale application.
[0005] (2) Solvent extraction method
[0006] Solvent extraction separation technology mainly achieves separation through the partition law of the solvent or complexation reaction. The partition law of the solvent utilizes the difference in the partition coefficient of phosphate in the organic phase and the aqueous phase to achieve selective enrichment, thereby achieving separation and purification. The complexation reaction involves the formation of complexes between the extractant and impurity ions, thus achieving separation. Solvent extraction is low-cost and the extractant can be reused, but the extractant has a weak ability to remove anions, which can easily lead to excessive anion content.
[0007] (3) Dynamic crystallization control
[0008] Dynamic crystallization control primarily involves thermodynamic and kinetic coordination to induce premature crystallization of phosphate molecules, leaving impurities in the liquid and forming high-purity crystals. This technology produces high-purity products, but requires significant equipment investment, has high maintenance costs, minimal human intervention, and demands high stability of the upstream acid quality.
[0009] Therefore, existing purified phosphoric acid production technologies either fail to completely remove ions or have high production costs, creating an urgent need for a high-purity, low-cost method for preparing purified phosphoric acid. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that existing purified phosphoric acid production technology cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high purity and low cost.
[0011] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0012] A method for preparing purified phosphoric acid using centrifugal extraction technology includes the following steps:
[0013] S1: Concentrate the initial acid to 40-45% P2O5, and filter to obtain concentrated crude acid;
[0014] S2: Desulfurized crude acid is obtained by desulfurizing the concentrated crude acid obtained from S1 using a desulfurizing agent;
[0015] S3: The crude acid obtained from S2 is defluorinated using a defluorinating agent, and then solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain extracted defluorinated acid and filter cake.
[0016] S4: The defluorinated acid was subjected to cationic complexation treatment using a mixture of cationic complexing extractant 2-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (P204) and sulfonated kerosene to obtain the extractable original acid;
[0017] S5: After heating the extractant and the original extract acid separately, add them to a centrifuge for extraction to obtain the organic phase and the residual acid;
[0018] S6: The organic phase obtained in S5 is washed by countercurrent centrifugation using purified acid as washing acid to obtain washed organic phase and residual washing acid. The washed organic phase is directly fed into the back-extraction section, and the residual washing acid is returned to the extraction section for further extraction.
[0019] S7: Preheated desalinated water is used as the back-extraction carrier to back-extract the washed organic phase by countercurrent centrifugation to obtain back-extracted acid and back-extracted organic phase; the back-extracted acid enters the concentration section;
[0020] S8: The back-extracted acid obtained from S7 is sent to the overflow storage tank for further separation of the residual organic phase. The organic phase is returned to the back-extraction stage for further separation. The back-extracted acid after separation of the organic phase is sent to the concentration section for concentration to obtain purified phosphoric acid.
[0021] Preferably, it is concentrated to 85% phosphoric acid.
[0022] The primary acid is an acid produced by the wet-process phosphoric acid production process and is obtained directly from the production.
[0023] Preferably, in S2, the specific method for desulfurization is as follows: dicalcium phosphate with a water content of less than 2% is slowly added at 75℃~85℃ according to a molar ratio of n(Ca):n(S) = 1.1~1.4:1, and stirred until fully reacted. Preferably, the reaction is carried out at 400-500 r / min for 1-6 h.
[0024] The moisture content of dicalcium phosphate is very important. If the moisture content is too high, the dicalcium phosphate will clump together, making it difficult to stir evenly after feeding, which will lead to poor desulfurization effect. The dicalcium phosphate is ground and passed through a 60-mesh sieve.
[0025] In addition, a temperature range of 75℃ to 85℃ and an excess of Ca can achieve deep desulfurization.
[0026] The chemical equation for the desulfurization process of this invention is as follows:
[0027] 2H + +SO42- +CaHPO4+2H2O=CaSO4•2H2O↓+H3PO4.
[0028] Preferably, in step S3, the specific method for defluorination is as follows: a NaOH solution with a solid content of 45%~50% is weighed according to a molar ratio of n(NaOH):n(F) = 3.5~5.5:1, and added dropwise at 75℃~85℃. After the addition is completed, the reaction is carried out for 3~4 hours. After the reaction is completed, the extractable original acid and filter cake are obtained by pressure filtration.
[0029] This temperature is chosen to better facilitate the release of fluorine products as gases; because the fluorine content is low and the concentration is small, this molar ratio allows for more thorough fluorine removal. Adding NaOH solution dropwise while providing the initial temperature to the acid results in a more vigorous reaction, and fluorine and its products are also more likely to escape as gases.
[0030] In addition, solid NaOH has poor defluorination effect. Low concentration NaOH will introduce too much water, and high concentration NaOH will react too violently and is difficult to control. NaOH with a concentration of about 50% is just right to be controlled and has a good defluorination effect.
[0031] Experiments revealed that fluorine removal was ineffective when the ratio of n(NaOH):n(F) was less than 3.5, and the Na concentration in the system needed to reach a certain level to achieve the desired removal effect.
[0032] The chemical equation for the defluorination process of this invention is as follows:
[0033] 2NaOH + H₂SiF = Na₂SiF↓ + 2H₂O
[0034] 2NaOH + HF = NaF + H₂O
[0035] After deep desulfurization, NaOH solution is used for defluorination to generate Na2SiF. After defluorination, impurities are removed by filtration based on the principle of impurity solubility.
[0036] Preferably, in step S4, the specific method of complexation treatment is as follows: 70% P204 by volume and 30% sulfonated kerosene, with a volume ratio of 5.0~8.0:1 to defluorinated acid, preheated to 45℃~50℃, and reacted in a complexation mixing reactor. After completion, the organic phase enters the complexing agent back-extraction section, and the aqueous phase enters the next stage of centrifugal extraction as the original acid.
[0037] Preferably, in step S5, the specific method of centrifugal extraction is as follows: the extractant and the extracting acid are fed in a volume ratio of V(extractant):V(extracting acid) = 4.0~7.0:1, the extractant and the extracting acid are preheated to 45℃~50℃ respectively, and at least three-stage countercurrent extraction is adopted. The extracted organic phase directly enters the extraction washing section, and the residual acid is treated and then enters the compound fertilizer section.
[0038] Preferably, in S5, the extractant is a mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone and sulfonated kerosene.
[0039] Methyl isobutyl ketone requires a high concentration of crude phosphoric acid and has a high viscosity, necessitating the use of a diluent. This invention employs a pretreatment process using a mixture of 2-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (P204) and sulfonated kerosene. Under suitable viscosity conditions, the mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone and sulfonated kerosene achieves a high extraction rate.
[0040] Preferably, in step S6, the specific method for centrifugal washing is as follows: using a purification acid of 37%~40% P2O5 as the washing acid, preheating to 45℃~50℃, and performing at least three stages of countercurrent centrifugal washing according to a volume ratio of V (extracted organic phase):V (washing acid) = 3.0~5.0:1 to obtain a washed organic phase and residual washing acid. The washed organic phase is directly sent to the back-extraction section, and the residual washing acid is returned to the extraction section for further extraction.
[0041] The purification acid with P2O5 concentration of 37% to 40% refers to the back-extraction acid returned from the back-extraction process. Its P2O5 concentration is in the range of 37% to 40%, and it can be recycled and used directly. If the concentration of the washing acid is too low, it will lead to a large loss of phosphorus during the washing process. Its volume ratio with the extracted organic phase is also to reduce phosphorus loss. Preheating is to accelerate mass transfer and prevent high-concentration, high-impurity phosphoric acid from precipitating and clumping, which could clog the instrument.
[0042] It should be noted that when the total content of residual acid metal impurities in the washing process is ≥0.1% and the sulfate content is ≥0.2%, it will no longer be returned to the extraction section, but will be sent to be used as fertilizer.
[0043] Preferably, in step S7, the specific method for centrifugal back-extraction is as follows: using desalinated water preheated to 45°C~50°C as the back-extraction carrier, the ratio of washing organic phase to desalinated water feed is set at a volume ratio V(washed organic phase):V(desalinated water) = 7.0~12.0:1, and at least three stages of countercurrent centrifugal extraction are performed to obtain the back-extracted organic phase and back-extracted acid. The back-extracted acid enters the concentration section, and the back-extracted organic phase enters the extraction section as an extractant for recycling.
[0044] In this invention, the ratio of the washing organic phase to the deionized water is set relatively high, mainly to ensure that the resulting acid concentration is above 37% P2O5; it can be recycled and used directly. If the washing acid concentration is too low, it will lead to a large loss of phosphorus during the washing process, and it can also reduce the cost of subsequent concentration.
[0045] Preferably, in step S8, the back-extracted acid enters the overflow tank, and the production speed is controlled to be 1 / (m³) of the overflow tank storage volume ratio. 3 / h) / 24~48m 3 .
[0046] Preferably, the acid is back-extracted from the overflow tank and enters the concentration tank, where the vacuum degree is 0.08~0.10MPa and the temperature is 70℃~80℃, and it is concentrated to 61.2%-61.7% P2O5 to obtain 85% phosphoric acid.
[0047] This invention utilizes a centrifuge to provide centrifugal force, separating the light and heavy phases based on the magnitude of the centripetal force. Purified phosphoric acid is obtained through extraction, washing, and back-extraction processes. The multi-stage series separation ensures more thorough separation. Simultaneously, this method uses low-cost dicalcium phosphate as a highly efficient desulfurizing agent for deep desulfurization, increasing the concentration of orogenic acid (P2O5) and reducing subsequent concentration costs.
[0048] A system for preparing purified phosphoric acid using centrifugal extraction technology, used to implement the above-mentioned method for preparing purified phosphoric acid using centrifugal extraction technology, includes a first concentrator, a first pressure filter system, a desulfurization reactor, a defluorination reactor, a complexation mixing reactor, a second pressure filter system, a heat exchanger, an extraction centrifuge group, a washing centrifuge group, a back-extraction centrifuge group, and a second concentrator arranged sequentially.
[0049] Preferably, a settling tank is provided between the defluorination reactor and the second pressure filtration system, and an overflow storage tank is provided between the back-extraction centrifuge group and the second concentrator.
[0050] Preferably, a condenser heat exchanger is provided after the second concentrator to cool the phosphoric acid obtained in the second concentrator, and then transfer it to the finished product storage tank after cooling.
[0051] Preferably, the condensate washing water obtained from the heat exchanger is transported through the condensate washing water pipe to the first and second pressure filtration systems as pressure filtration washing water, thereby realizing the recycling of water.
[0052] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0053] 1. This invention employs at least three-stage tandem centrifugal extraction technology to efficiently separate phosphoric acid from impurities. It uses undesulfurized primary phosphoric acid, dicalcium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, and demineralized water from the company's wet phosphoric acid production process as raw materials, resulting in lower costs. A complexing agent of 2-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (P2O4) and sulfonated kerosene is used to efficiently remove metal cations. A complexing agent of methyl isobutyl ketone and sulfonated kerosene is used as the extractant, producing 85% phosphoric acid of high quality, meeting the requirements for industrial-grade products. Its byproduct, residual raffinate (P2O5), has a high content, which can be used to produce high-performance compound fertilizers, thus possessing good economic value.
[0054] 2. This invention concentrates the primary acid and uses calcium hydrogen phosphate for desulfurization. The desulfurizing agent itself contains phosphorus, which can remove sulfate ions and increase the phosphorus content; the desulfurization efficiency is higher after concentration.
[0055] 3. The present invention uses 2-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (P204) and sulfonated kerosene as a complexing agent to efficiently remove metal cations; and 2-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (P204) and sulfonated kerosene can be reused after washing with water.
[0056] 4. In this invention, the P2O5% of the back-extraction acid is about 37-40%, which can be directly used as the washing acid in the previous step to ensure the overall phosphorus yield.
[0057] 5. In this invention, the concentrated waste heat is fully utilized in the preheating and back-extraction desalination sections, realizing the recovery and utilization of materials and energy throughout the entire process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0065] Example 1
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for preparing purified phosphoric acid using centrifugal extraction technology is described, using 80% methyl isobutyl ketone + 20% sulfonated kerosene as the extractant and 70% P2O4 + 30% sulfonated kerosene as the cationic complexing agent. The steps are as follows:
[0067] S1: Initial acid concentration:
[0068] The initial acid is drawn into the first concentrator, the vacuum degree is set to 0.08~0.10MPa, the temperature is 75℃, the concentration time is 180min, and the concentration is carried out to 40%~42% P2O5. The concentrated crude acid is then obtained by filtration.
[0069] S2: Crude acid desulfurization:
[0070] Calcium hydrogen phosphate with a moisture content of less than 2% and sieved through an 80-mesh sieve was slowly added at 80℃ at a ratio of n(Ca):n(S) = 1.2:1, and reacted for 2 hours under stirring at 450 r / min. After the reaction was completed, desulfurized crude acid was obtained.
[0071] S3: Crude acid defluorination:
[0072] A NaOH solution with a solid content of 48% was weighed according to the ratio of n(NaOH):n(F) = 4.0:1. It was added dropwise to the desulfurized crude acid at 80℃ for 1 hour using a peristaltic pump. After the addition was completed, the reaction was carried out for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the defluorinated acid and filter cake were obtained by pressure filtration.
[0073] S4: Complexation reaction:
[0074] P204 (70% by volume) and sulfonated kerosene (30% by volume) are reacted with defluorinated acid at a volume ratio of 6.0:1, preheated to 48°C, in a complexing mixing reactor. The impure organic phase enters the complexing agent back-extraction section, where the demineralized water is preheated. The ratio of complexing agent to demineralized water is 6.0:1. After countercurrent three-stage extraction and centrifugation, the aqueous phase enters the wastewater treatment section, and the purified organic phase, i.e., the complexing agent, enters the next complexing reaction. The acid after complexation treatment enters the next stage of centrifugal extraction.
[0075] Before entering the centrifugal extraction, the complexed acid first enters the sedimentation tank for sedimentation and is filtered to obtain the extraction raw acid, i.e., the pretreated acid, and the filter residue obtained from the filtration enters the compound fertilizer production process.
[0076] S5: Centrifugal Extraction: The ratio of extractant to raw acid is V(extractant):V(raw acid) = 5.0:1. The extractant and raw acid are preheated to 45℃~50℃ respectively. Five-stage countercurrent extraction is adopted, and the centrifugal extractor speed is controlled at 2500r / min. The extracted organic phase directly enters the extraction washing section, and the residual acid is processed and then enters the compound fertilizer section.
[0077] S6: Centrifugal washing: Use 37%~40% P2O5 purified acid as washing acid, preheat to 45℃~50℃, and perform five-stage countercurrent centrifugal washing according to the ratio of V (extracting organic):V (washing acid) = 4.0:1. The speed of the centrifugal extractor is controlled at 2500r / min. The washing acid directly enters the back-extraction section, and the residual washing acid is returned to the extraction section for further extraction.
[0078] S7: Centrifugal back-extraction: Desalinated water preheated to 45℃~50℃ is used as the back-extraction carrier. The ratio of washing organic to desalinated water feed is V(washed organic):V(desalinated water) = 10.0:1 for five-stage countercurrent extraction. The speed of the centrifugal extractor is controlled at 2500r / min. The back-extraction acid enters the concentration section, and the back-extraction organic is recycled into the extraction section. Part of the back-extraction acid is used as washing acid in S6.
[0079] S8: The back-extraction acid obtained from S7 is sent to the overflow storage tank for further separation of the residual organic phase. The organic phase is returned to the back-extraction stage for further separation. The back-extraction acid after separation of the organic phase is sent to the concentration tank.
[0080] S9: Concentration of back-extracted acid: The back-extracted acid was concentrated under vacuum conditions of 0.08~0.10MPa and 75℃ to obtain 85% phosphoric acid by concentrating it to 61.2%-61.7% P2O5.

[0116] The results of testing different embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1 below.
[0117] Table 1. Detection results of different embodiments and comparative examples
[0118]
[0119] Note: In Table 1 above, data containing % indicates percentage content, while data without % indicates ppm.
[0120] By analyzing the data in Table 1 above, the following conclusions can be drawn:
[0121] 1. As can be seen from Examples 1, 2, 4 and 5, under the premise that other conditions remain unchanged, the extraction rate gradually increases with the increase of the number of extraction stages. When performing five-stage extraction, the extraction rate can reach more than 88%.
[0122] 2. The results of Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 6 show that setting the desulfurization process in the later stage will result in a significant increase in sulfate ions and a certain degree of decrease in the extraction rate. The main reason is that if sulfate is not removed in the early stage, it will occupy some extraction sites.
[0123] In Comparative Example 3, after replacing the desulfurizing agent from dicalcium phosphate to calcium carbonate, the sulfate removal effect decreased compared to Example 1, and the extraction rate also decreased slightly. This may be due to sulfate occupying the extraction rate sites. At the same time, since calcium carbonate does not contain phosphorus, it will affect the subsequent phosphorus content, thus demonstrating the beneficial contribution of the selection of dicalcium phosphate in this process.
[0124] 3. A comparison of the results from Examples 1, 7, and 8 shows that when no complexation treatment is performed and the extractant remains unchanged (Comparative Example 7), the content of metal impurities is higher and the extraction rate is reduced. However, Comparative Example 8 shows that when no complexation treatment is performed alone, but a complexing agent is added to the extractant for treatment, the content of metal impurities is higher than that in Example 1 but lower than that in Comparative Example 7 which is completely without a complexing agent. However, the extraction rate is lower. This is mainly because although the addition of the complexing agent is beneficial to the removal of metal impurities, the amount of extractant used is reduced after the addition of the cationic complexing agent, and the extraction capacity decreases, thus resulting in a lower extraction rate.
