Patent number: 7771682Abstract: The process provides for the preparation of MgO from the reaction of magnesium salt and alkali/lime. The crude Mg(OH)2 is directly calcined and then treated with water to disintegrate the mass spontaneously to yield a slurry and dissolve away the soluble salts. This slurry is much easier to filter and wash than the original Mg(OH)2 slurry, which helps to speed up the purification operation and also conserve fresh water. Another important advantage of the present method is that even pasty or dough like reaction products that are processed using dough mixers and similar equipment can be worked up with ease. There is no compromise in the quality of MgO achieved in this manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2006Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Council of Scientific and Industrial ResearchInventors: Pushpito Kumar Ghosh, Himanshu Labhshanker Joshi, Hasina Hajibhai Deraiya, Maheshkumar Ramniklal Gandhi, Rohit Harshadrai Dave, Kaushik Jethalal Langalia, Vadakke Puthoor Mohandas

Patent number: 7595037Abstract: Described is a method as well as an apparatus for hydration of a particulate or pulverulent material containing CaO. The method is peculiar in that water is added in a quantity which will ensure that the partial pressure PH2O of the added water as a function of the temperature (° C.) is maintained within the interval defined by the formula (I), where PH2O is the partial pressure of water vapour in atm. and T is the temperature in ° C. Hereby is obtained that the material particles do not lump into agglomerates, and that the particles are hydrated evenly from the outside and inwards so that it is the active surface of the material particles which undergoes hydration in connection with partial hydration. This is due to the fact that the liquid water will not get into contact with the material particles since the water will appear in vapour form within the specified interval.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2005Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: FLSMIDTH A/SInventors: Jens Peter Hansen, Lars Skaarup Jensen

Patent number: 4374810Abstract: A process for obtaining calcium fluoride from the pond water of phosphoric acid plants and recycling the high phosphate defluorinated water to the pond is disclosed. Sufficient calcium carbonate is added to a solution having a pH of about 0.8, containing about 1% fluoride, 1% phosphate and less than 0.4% sulfate, to raise the pH thereof to 2-3, whereby calcium fluoride is precipitated as a major component, calcium phosphates and calcium sulfates are precipitated as minor components. The calcium fluoride precipitate obtained is washed with raw pond water to reduce the phosphate content and with ammonium carbonate solution to reduce the sulfate content. In this manner an industrially useful fluorspar is obtained. The low fluoride supernatant liquid is then mixed with sufficient raw pond water to bring the pH into the range 1.5-2.0 and the resulting suspension is then held in a lagoon for 5-21 days to permit separation of silica.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1979Date of Patent: February 22, 1983Assignee: Agrico Chemical CompanyInventor: Padraic S.

Patent number: 4171342Abstract: Calcium fluoride is produced from pond waters resulting from phosphoric acid processing by treating the pond waters with calcium carbonate and/or calcium oxide in two stages to precipitate out the major part of the fluorine values from the waters as calcium fluoride. After removal of the calcium fluoride the filtrate is treated with calcium oxide to remove a substantial portion of the remaining fluorine values as calcium fluoride. After removal of these calcium fluoride solids, the filtrate is treated with another charge of calcium oxide to produce dicalcium phosphate (dical) which is separated from the aqueous phase. The aqueous phase is treated with an additional charge of calcium oxide to remove a substantial portion of the solids from the aqueous phase leaving waters that can be discharged as waste or recycled as process water.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1977Date of Patent: October 16, 1979Assignee: Occidental Chemical CompanyInventors: Ronald J.
