  • Patent number: 10662072
    Abstract: A method for preparing calcium sulphate comprising a production of DCP by the attack of a source of phosphate by an acid, a digestion of the isolated DCP by the sulphuric acid under conditions giving rise to the formation of a first slurry of gypsum suspended in an acidic aqueous phase having a content of free SO3 equal to or less than 1.5% and a content of free P2O5, a conversion of at least part of said first slurry by heating to a temperature greater than 80° C. and potentially by adding sulphuric acid, with solubilisation of the gypsum crystals and recrystallisation of the solubilised calcium sulphate in a second slurry of ?-calcium sulphate hemihydrate crystals suspended in an aqueous phase based-on phosphoric acid, wherein the content of free SO3 is less than 10% by weight, and a separation between said aqueous phase and a filter cake based on particularly pure ?-calcium sulphate hemihydrate.

  • Publication number: 20190330063
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for the preparation of calcium monohydrogen phosphate comprising an etching in an aqueous medium, during a predetermined time period, a source of phosphate with an acid with formation of a pulp comprising an aqueous phase containing calcium phosphate in solution and a solid phase containing impurities, a first separation between said aqueous phase and said solid phase, during a predetermined time period, a neutralization of said aqueous phase at a sufficient pH to obtain a precipitation of said calcium monohydrogen phosphate, a second separation between said aqueous medium and said calcium monohydrogen phosphate, characterized in that said predetermined time period of said step a) of digestion is greater than that of said step b).

  • Publication number: 20190322530
    Abstract: This present invention disclosure relates to a method for the preparation of calcium monohydrogen phosphate comprising an etching in an aqueous medium, during a predetermined time period, of a phosphate source with an acid with formation of a pulp comprising an aqueous phase containing calcium phosphate in solution and a solid phase containing impurities, a first separation between said aqueous phase and said solid phase, during a predetermined time period, a neutralization of said aqueous phase at a sufficient pH to obtain a precipitation of said calcium monohydrogen phosphate, a second separation between said aqueous medium and said calcium monohydrogen phosphate, characterized in that said first separation of said step b) is carried out at a filtration rate of at least 0.1 ton of P2O5/??P/m2/day.
