Experimental Study on De-Fluorinating by Adding Dilute Alkali in Wet Phosphoric Acid Extraction Organic Phase

Article Preview

Abstract:

Possible ways to remove fluoride from phosphoric acid are extraction,but there are always generated a second organic phase ,where still have small amounts of impurities such as fluoride,sulfate,iron,aluminum and heavy metals. The traditional process using pure water or dilute phosphoric acid washing the organic phase to get phosphoric acid ,but the impurities removing rate is not obvious.This study explore a new way to changes the washing detergent,using dilute alkali solution to reduce fluoride content of stripping in phosphoric acid.The optimization of experimental conditions is dilute alkali mass fraction 20%,dosage 0.4%,temperature 45°C,the defluorization rate can be 67.75% and phosphorus pentoxide yield rise to 95.50%.This study provides a new idea to improve defluorination rate in industrial production.
