The invention discloses a calcining defluorination method in feed-grade
tricalcium phosphate production. According to the method,
phosphoric acid is added to dry rock
phosphate and
sodium salt and the materials undergo
granulation in a disk granulating
machine; the granulated materials enter a rotary calcining
kiln from the
tail part; primary air and secondary air are introduced into the
kiln head of the rotary calcining
kiln so as to support
combustion of fuel in the
combustion section, and the materials undergo countercurrent calcining in the
combustion section of the rotary calcining kiln; a steam pipeline extends into the kiln, steam which accounts for 10-60% of content of the total materials is added according to content of the materials and content of
fluorine in the raw materials during calcining, and letting the steam fully react with the materials to take away the
fluorine in the form of HF from the materials by
tail gas. After the calcining,
mass fraction of the
fluorine in the materials is less than 0.18%. The method is simple, convenient and stable to operate, and no defluorination agent is added. Cost is low, and content of fluorine in the product can be effectively reduced. In the production, steam can be adjusted according to the content of fluorine in the materials. The method is easy to control, and the content of fluorine in the product is stable. The method is an ideal defluorination technology for the feed-grade
tricalcium phosphate production.
