Patent number: 10584049Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods of mitigating scale in phosphoric acid and ammonium phosphate plants. Scale-mitigating compositions of the invention can be added to phosphoric acid before or during the concentration in the evaporator cycle of a phosphoric acid plant. The compositions retard the formation of scale on surfaces in contact with the phosphoric acid, and thus time between cleaning is extended and plant productivity increased. Further, the scale that forms is softer and more easily cleaned from surfaces, reducing non-operation time of the plant and/or evaporator. Methods of mitigating scale formation in phosphoric acid production and phosphoric acid handling plants are disclosed. In the methods, scales accumulate more slowly and are softer, more tractable, and more easily cleaned from surfaces to which they adhere.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Sankar Bhattacharja, Jasbir Gill, Yuhuan Jin, Paul Wiatr

Patent number: 7172742Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing wet process phosphoric acid, which comprises: dividing raw materials which contain phosphate rock slurry and sulfuric acid into two parts, and then feeding these two parts into two reactors separately. In the first reactor, feeding 70–90 wt. % of the total amount of the slurry and sulfuric acid, in which the ratio of phosphate rock slurry to sulfuric acid to recycled phosphoric acid is set to be 1:0.6˜0.8:1.0˜2.5. 10˜30% of the reaction solution directly flows into conversion cell, participating in the conversion reaction of dihydrate gypsum. Thus resulted phosphoric acid concentration is 33˜39 wt. %. The recovery efficiency of P2O5 is 99% or more. When putting coke powders in the conversion solution as filter aid, the filtration efficiency can be improved by 10˜30%, and in so produced hemihydrate gypsum, P2O5 is 0.05˜0.2%, water of hydration is 4˜8%. The product can be used for producing sulfuric acid and cement without baking dry.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2001Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Shandong Lubei Enterprise Group CompanyInventors: Yisheng Feng, Jiutian Feng, Xigang Liu, Yurui Wang, Tianbao Lu

Patent number: 7101522Abstract: A process is provided for the production of dicalcium phosphate form a phosphate source material in which a solution of phosphoric acid is produced by the action of a suitable mineral acid, generally sulphuric acid, on a phosphate source material. Calcium fluoride is precipitated at a pH of between 3.5 and 4.5 followed by hydrolyzing the solution by diluting it with water to a ratio of approximately 1:7 to about 1:10 monocalcium phosphate to water at a temperature of approximately 40 degrees Centigrade to form a primary precipitate containing substantially all of the fluoride present as CaF2 together with some dicalcium phosphate and a primary calcium and phosphate containing solution. The primary precipitate is dissolved, the pH adjusted to form 3.5 to 4.5 and the hydrolyzation repeated to form a secondary precipitate containing substantially all of the fluoride present as CaF2 together with some dicalcium phosphate and a secondary calcium and phosphate containing solution.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2001Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Inventor: Jan Christoffel De Waal
