  • Patent number: 4043789
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of phosphoric acid containing calcium phosphates, i.e. Ca-containing phosphoric acid, by evaporating Ca-containing mother liquor from Odda process, whereby practically all the remaining nitrate and fluorine are removed in the form of HNO.sub.3, HF and SiF.sub.4, in which process the Ca-containing mother liquor is given a Ca/P weight ratio which is lower than 0.45 and is evaporated while recycling Ca-containing phosphoric acid, the recirculation being so controlled that the liquor has a phosphorus concentration during evaporation which is always adequate to prevent the liquor from forming a paste-like mass. Thus, it was discovered that the undesirable paste-like consistency experienced when calcium is present during evaporation can be avoided by controlling the phosphorus content.
