Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of phosphoric acid technology, specifically to a wet process method and system for producing hemihydrate-dihydrate phosphoric acid. Background Technology
[0002] Wet-process phosphoric acid production is categorized by the type of phosphogypsum produced. Currently, mature industrialized processes include: dihydrate, hemihydrate, hemihydrate-dihydrate, and dihydrate-hemihydrate. Among these, the traditional dihydrate phosphoric acid process is highly adaptable to phosphate rock, offers stable operation, high utilization rates, and can use medium- to low-grade phosphate rock; it is still used by over 80% of companies worldwide. However, the dihydrate process suffers from problems such as low P2O5 concentration in the produced dilute phosphoric acid, low phosphate rock conversion rate, and difficulties in the comprehensive utilization of phosphogypsum. The hemihydrate-dihydrate process, as an improved wet-process phosphoric acid production process, offers advantages such as high phosphoric acid yield, high concentration of dilute phosphoric acid in the product, and good quality phosphogypsum. However, existing hemihydrate-dihydrate processes have high requirements for the quality of raw phosphate rock and its materials. Furthermore, the fine crystals of hemihydrate phosphogypsum significantly increase filtration difficulty, leading to severe equipment and pipeline blockage, low start-up rates, and high product costs.

[0008] A method for producing hemihydrate-dihydrate wet-process phosphoric acid includes the following steps: S1. Dehydrate the phosphate rock slurry to obtain phosphate rock powder with a water content of ≤15%; S2. Add phosphate rock powder, sulfuric acid, and the acid returned from the hemihydrate flash evaporator to the dissolution module. In the presence of active SiO2, the mixture reacts to produce a hemihydrate reaction slurry containing hemihydrate phosphogypsum and phosphoric acid. S3. The hemihydrate reaction slurry obtained in step S2 is introduced into the crystallization module. Sulfuric acid and the back acid returned from the hemihydrate flash cooler are added to the crystallization module. An amide crystallization modifier is added to the crystallization module. Part of the slurry is refluxed from the crystallization module to the dissolution module, and the other part of the slurry is sent to the hemihydrate flash cooler for cooling. Fluorine-containing gas and cooling slurry are separated. The fluorine-containing gas is sent to the fluorine recovery module for processing. S4. Most of the cooling slurry obtained in step S3 is returned to the crystallization module, and a small portion is sent to the hemihydrate filter to obtain hemihydrate phosphogypsum filter cake and finished phosphoric acid. S5. The hemihydrate phosphogypsum filter cake obtained in step S4 is washed with the filtrate from the dihydrate filter and then introduced into the dihydrate conversion module. Part of the filtrate is returned to the dissolution module and the crystallization module as acid backflow. S6. Sulfuric acid is added to the dihydrate conversion module and reacts with the washed hemihydrate phosphogypsum filter cake from step 5 in the presence of active SiO2 to convert hemihydrate phosphogypsum into dihydrate phosphogypsum. S7. Part of the dihydrate slurry obtained in step S6 is flash-cooled in a dihydrate flash cooler and then fed back to the dihydrate conversion module. The other part is sent to a dihydrate filter for solid-liquid separation to obtain dihydrate phosphogypsum and filtrate. The filtrate is returned to step S5 as washing water for the hemihydrate phosphogypsum filter cake.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, after the fluorine-containing gas is absorbed by the fluorine absorption system, 12-18% fluorosilicic acid is sent to the fluorosilicic acid filter for liquid-solid separation. The separated silica gel and diatomaceous earth are re-slurried together to form active SiO2, which is then sent to the No. 1 dissolving tank and the No. 1 dihydrate conversion tank.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the reaction temperature is controlled at 92~100℃, and the SO4 in the semi-aqueous reaction slurry is... 2- The content should be controlled to be 0.5-2% lower than the CaO content.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the crystallization temperature is controlled at 90~98℃, and the SO4 content in the slurry is... 2- The content is controlled to be 1~3.5% higher than the CaO content.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S6, the dihydrate conversion temperature is controlled at 60~65℃, and the SO4 content in the slurry is... 2- The content is controlled at 7-9%.
[0013] To address the issue of poor filtration due to the small particle size of hemihydrate phosphogypsum produced during the hemihydrate reaction process, for example, when using a certain phosphate rock as raw material for the production of hemihydrate-dihydrate wet-process phosphoric acid, the average particle size of the hemihydrate phosphogypsum produced during the hemihydrate reaction is 8 mm. m, filtration intensity 4tP2O5·m -2 ·d -1 The filtration performance was poor. Adding an amide-based crystallization modifier to crystallization tank #1 promoted crystal nucleus growth, resulting in larger and more uniform hemihydrate phosphogypsum particles. After adding the crystallization modifier, the average particle size of the hemihydrate phosphogypsum was 55 mm. m, filtration intensity 9tP2O5·m -2 ·d -1 It has good filtration performance and improves the operating rate of the unit.
[0014] The production of hemihydrate-dihydrate wet-process phosphoric acid requires high-quality phosphate rock, typically with an impurity factor (MER) ≤ 0.1. If the content of these metal oxide impurities in the phosphate rock exceeds the required value, the hemihydrate phosphogypsum crystals will be finer, making filtration more difficult. For phosphate rock with a high MER, a crystallization modifier is added during the crystallization process, and the SO4 concentration in the dissolution module is adjusted. 2- The content of SO4 during acid hydrolysis is high when the impurity content is high. 2- The increased content of SO4 is beneficial to the initial formation of hemihydrate phosphogypsum crystal nuclei, and SO4 in a suitable crystallization module... 2- At a certain concentration, the SO4 in the dissolution module 2- Increased content leads to increased filtration intensity.
[0015] If a certain phosphate rock with a MER of 0.146 is used as raw material for the production of hemihydrate-dihydrate wet-process phosphoric acid, an amide crystallization modifier is added to crystallization tank #1: SO4 in the control dissolution module 2- The content is 0.5%, SO4 in the crystallization module 2- When the content is 5%, the filtration intensity is 5.6tP2O5·m. -2 ·d -1 ; SO4 in the control dissolution module 2- The content is 2%, SO4 in the crystallization module 2- When the content is 5%, the filtration intensity is 10.3tP2O5·m -2 ·d -1 The filtration intensity is significantly improved; SO4 in the control dissolution module 2- The content is 2%, SO4 in the crystallization module 2- When the content is 8%, the filtration intensity is 10.45tP2O5·m. -2 ·d -1 The increase in filtration intensity is not significant.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This hemihydrate-dihydrate wet process for producing phosphoric acid uses wet phosphate rock powder with a water content of ≤15% as the raw material. The raw phosphate rock can be wet-milled, and the phosphate rock slurry is dewatered using a fully automated pressure filter that is stable, efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly. No further drying is required, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than dry milling.
[0017] 2. This hemihydrate-dihydrate wet process for producing phosphoric acid involves filtering and separating the fluorosilicic acid recovered from the hemihydrate flash-cooled fluorine absorption system. The separated silica gel is then added to the dissolving tank and the dihydrate conversion tank, which reduces equipment corrosion and improves the quality of the product phosphoric acid and the byproduct fluorosilicic acid.
[0018] 3. This wet process for producing hemihydrate-dihydrate phosphoric acid promotes crystal growth by adding amide crystallization modifiers, resulting in coarser and more uniform hemihydrate phosphogypsum, which can increase filtration intensity by at least 100% and improve the plant's start-up rate.
[0019] 4. This wet process for producing hemihydrate-dihydrate phosphoric acid involves adding a crystallization modifier during the crystallization process of phosphate rock with high MER (Mean Interval), while simultaneously adjusting the SO4 levels in the dissolution tank. 2- The content of phosphogypsum promotes the increase of crystal particle size, improves filtration strength, and increases the operating rate. The technology of this invention can use phosphate rock with a high impurity coefficient, which increases the adaptability to phosphate rock. Attached Figure Description
