Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wet-process phosphoric acid production technology, specifically to a method for simultaneously removing chloride ions introduced into the raw materials during the wet-process phosphoric acid production process. Background Technology
[0002] As a core raw material in the global phosphate chemical industry, the quality of wet-process phosphoric acid directly impacts the production process and product quality. With the continuous development of phosphate rock resources, the utilization rate of phosphate rock has increased significantly. Chlorine is mainly present in the form of soluble salts such as NaCl, KCl, or fluorochloroapatite. For example, the chloride content of some phosphate rocks in the Middle East, North Africa, and Yunnan-Guizhou region of China is as high as 0.3-2.0%, far exceeding the tolerance limit of 0.05-0.1% for traditional wet-process phosphoric acid. The gradual depletion of high-quality, low-chlorine phosphate rock globally has led to the normalization of phosphate rock utilization, and the resulting chloride ion problem is increasingly becoming a key factor restricting the industry's development.
[0003] The use of phosphate rock led to a significant increase in chloride ion content in wet-process phosphoric acid, resulting in a series of process and product problems. At the process level, Cl... - High-temperature acidic media can trigger pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking in equipment, reducing the lifespan of critical equipment such as stainless steel reactors and evaporators by more than 50%, and drastically increasing maintenance costs. Meanwhile, Cl... - It also damages the crystal structure of calcium sulfate, leading to a 20-30% decrease in filtration rate and a reduction in P2O5 recovery rate; during the concentration stage, it easily causes chloride scaling, increasing system energy consumption by more than 30%. At the product level, industrial-grade phosphoric acid (HG / T4069-2008) requires Cl... - ≤100ppm, food grade (GB1886.15-2015) requires Cl - ≤10ppm, while the Cl in phosphoric acid produced directly from phosphate rock is... - The content can reach 1000-5000ppm, which seriously restricts the high-end application of the product.
[0004] Currently, chloride ion removal in wet-process phosphoric acid mainly relies on dechlorination technology at the finished phosphoric acid stage. However, efficient and applicable dechlorination methods are lacking in the wet-process phosphoric acid production process, failing to effectively mitigate chloride ion corrosion of production equipment. Existing dechlorination methods, such as water washing, suffer from significant P2O5 loss, difficult wastewater treatment, and limited dechlorination efficiency; chemical precipitation faces challenges such as high cost, introduction of new impurities, and difficulty in handling precipitates; solvent extraction limits its industrial application due to high investment costs, complex operation, and difficulty in utilizing residual acid. Therefore, given the increasing prevalence of phosphate rock production, there is an urgent need for multidisciplinary research to develop new, green, environmentally friendly, low-energy-consumption, low-cost, high-efficiency, and easy-to-operate dechlorination processes to provide technological support for the high-quality development of the phosphoric acid chemical industry. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dechlorination method for wet-process phosphoric acid production. This method involves introducing highly efficient chloride ions into the process before phosphate rock crystallization. Based on the strong oxidizing properties of sodium persulfate, an oxidation method is used to oxidize chloride ions into chlorine gas during the wet-process phosphoric acid preparation process, achieving the targeted conversion of chloride ions into stable and easily separable chlorine gas for removal before the wet-process phosphoric acid comes into contact with the equipment. This addresses the problems of equipment corrosion, increased energy consumption, high costs, complex operation, difficult wastewater and precipitate treatment, and low dechlorination efficiency caused by phosphate rock in the wet-process phosphoric acid production process.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for dechlorination in a wet-process phosphoric acid production process, comprising the following steps: (1) Phosphate rock decomposition: The ground phosphate rock is added to reaction tank A and decomposed with high temperature slurry to obtain slurry a. The temperature of the decomposition reaction is 70-150℃ and the reaction time is 1-5h. (2) Oxidation and dechlorination reaction: Slurry a is pumped into reaction tank B, concentrated sulfuric acid and Na2S2O8 solution are added, and oxidation and dechlorination reaction is carried out under high temperature conditions. After solid-liquid separation, low-chlorine phosphoric acid and phosphogypsum are obtained. The temperature of the oxidation and dechlorination reaction is 70-150℃ and the reaction time is 1-5h. (3) Tail gas purification: The reaction tank B is connected to the tail gas scrubbing system. First, water is used for circulating scrubbing. After the concentration of fluorosilicic acid is detected to be in the range of 10-15%, the scrubbing liquid is discharged, and then 0.1-2m 3 The exhaust gas is washed twice with alkaline solution in a countercurrent manner to meet emission standards.
[0007] In step (1), the mass ratio of the aforementioned phosphate rock to the high-temperature slurry is 1:8-15, the aforementioned high-temperature slurry is a mixture of phosphoric acid solution and gypsum, wherein the mass ratio of gypsum to phosphoric acid solution is 1:2.3-4, and the concentration of the aforementioned phosphoric acid solution is 25-45%.
[0008] In step (1), the aforementioned slurry a is a mixture of phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate slurry, the temperature of the aforementioned decomposition reaction is 90-110℃, the reaction time is 3h, and the aforementioned reaction tank A is a dissolving tank.
[0009] In step (2), the aforementioned concentrated sulfuric acid is industrial sulfuric acid with a mass concentration of 98%. The amount added is calculated based on the amount of concentrated sulfuric acid used in phosphate rock. The mass ratio of phosphate rock to concentrated sulfuric acid is 1.0-1.5:1.
[0010] In step (2), the mass concentration of the aforementioned Na2S2O8 solution is 10-50%, and the amount added is such that the mass ratio of Na2S2O8 to chloride ions is n(Na2S2O8):n(Cl⁻)=0.5-7:1.
[0011] In step (2), specifically, the mass concentration of the aforementioned Na2S2O8 solution is 30%, and the amount added is such that the mass ratio of Na2S2O8 to chloride ions is n(Na2S2O8):n(Cl⁻)=5:1.
[0012] In step (2), the high temperature of the aforementioned oxidation and dechlorination reaction is 90-110℃, the reaction time is 3h, and the aforementioned reaction tank B is a crystallization tank.
[0013] In step (3), the aforementioned washing system consists of three stages of washing towers. The first stage uses water for circulating washing of the tail gas to remove most of the HF and some of the SiF4. The second and third stages are countercurrent washing to completely remove Cl2, residual SiF4, and HF. The aforementioned second-stage countercurrent washing uses 1m 3 The alkaline solution is circulated and washed once per hour, for 1-5 hours. The aforementioned three-stage countercurrent washing involves circulating alkaline solution and washing once per hour, for 1-5 hours.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention is the first to successfully integrate oxidative dechlorination into the wet-process phosphoric acid production process, achieving highly efficient removal of chloride ions without altering the existing main equipment. The optimal solvent ratio (n(Na2S2O8):n(Cl)) is achieved. - With a ratio of 5:1, the dechlorination rate can reach over 95%, reducing the chloride ion content in the acid solution from over 1324 ppm to 136 ppm, effectively solving the application problems of phosphate rock.
[0017] 2. Utilizing the high temperature, strong acid, and Fe in the oxidation-removal chlorine reaction itself. 2 The sodium persulfate is activated by the environment without the need for additional catalysts. By utilizing the strong oxidizing properties of sodium persulfate, chloride ions are oxidized into chlorine gas, breaking through the technical bottleneck that traditional methods struggle to overcome in this process.
[0018] 3. By removing chloride ions at the source, equipment corrosion can be fundamentally alleviated. Experiments have shown that this method can significantly reduce the corrosion rate of stainless steel in the system from severe corrosion >1.50 mm / year to 0.46 mm / year, and improve the corrosion level from "unsuitable" to "good", thereby significantly extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.
[0019] 4. The solvent sodium persulfate used in this invention is inexpensive, and the introduced sulfate ions have no negative impact on the existing phosphoric acid production system; the chlorine gas generated in the reaction can be introduced into the existing tail gas scrubbing system and treated by circulating absorption with a 1% alkaline solution, without any risk of secondary pollution, thus combining economic benefits and environmental friendliness.
[0020] 5. The technical method of the present invention can be directly embedded into existing wet-process phosphoric acid production equipment without large-scale modification of existing equipment. It requires less investment, is simple to operate, and has broad prospects for industrial application. Attached Figure Description
