The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of food-grade
phosphoric acid, in particular to a preparation method of food-grade
phosphoric acid. The method comprises the following steps: extracting an industrial-grade
phosphoric acid solution by using
tributyl phosphate to obtain an organic phase containing phosphoric acid; carrying out
arsenic removal reaction on the organic phase and
phosphorus pentasulfide, and filtering to obtain an
arsenic-removed phosphoric acid solution; under the condition that
nitrogen is introduced, active diatomite is used for carrying out a defluorination reaction on the
arsenic-removed phosphoric acid solution, and a defluorinated phosphoric acid solution is obtained; performing a readily oxidizable
substance removal reaction on the defluorinated phosphoric acid solution by using
nitrogen and an
oxidizing agent to obtain a readily oxidizable
substance removal phosphoric acid solution; carrying out desulfurization reaction on the readily oxidizable
oxide-removed phosphoric acid solution by using a desulfurizing agent, and filtering to obtain a desulfurized phosphoric acid solution; carrying out aging treatment,
filtration and back extraction on the desulfurized phosphoric acid solution to obtain a clear phosphoric acid solution; and performing
ultrafiltration and
nanofiltration on the clarified phosphoric acid solution to obtain the food-grade phosphoric acid solution. According to the preparation method, the
impurity removal effect of the food-grade phosphoric acid product can be improved on the premise of low cost through a series of technologies.
