Description

Phosphoric acid purification method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a phosphoric acid purifying method, and belongs to the technical field of chemical industry.
Background
Phosphorite is a non-renewable resource, and industrial, food and electronic grade phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate fertilizer, fine phosphate and other products produced by taking the phosphorite as raw materials have important values for grain safety and national economy. At present, the phosphorite reserves in China account for 5% of the total world, and the second place is the second place, but the phosphorite reserves are far smaller than the global proportion of 71% of Morocco. The global yield of phosphate rock in 2018 (in standard ore) was about 2.6 hundred million tons, with a chinese phosphate rock yield of 50% greater than the 29% total of morocco, us and russia with yield ranks two to four. In view of the unoptimal phosphorus resource advantages of China and the current yield ratio of phosphorus ore, the importance of reasonably utilizing the phosphorus ore resources is remarkable.
The wet process of phosphate rock (main component Ca 5F(PO4)3, wherein F can be replaced by Cl and OH) through sulfuric acid digestion to produce phosphoric acid is an important process commonly adopted in the international and domestic phosphorus chemical industry at present. Because the phosphorite in China is often accompanied with impurities, namely the grade of the phosphorite is lower, phosphoric acid (wet phosphoric acid) produced by the wet process contains more impurities. Wet phosphoric acid is used as a raw material for producing large amount of fertilizer such as ammonium phosphate and the like, or for producing food-grade, electronic-grade phosphoric acid or fine phosphate with high added value and the like, and the raw material is required to be purified and decontaminated.
The purification of wet phosphoric acid requires the separation of phosphoric acid from the metal cations of different valence (Fe 3+,Al3+,Mg2+, etc.), fluoride ions (F -) contained therein. Currently, the purification of wet phosphoric acid in industry mainly adopts an extraction or chemical precipitation method. The extraction method uses organic extractant such as tributyl phosphate and the like to extract high-purity phosphoric acid from wet-process phosphoric acid. The chemical precipitation method adopts chemical precipitants such as ammonia gas and the like to precipitate metal cations in the wet-process phosphoric acid in the form of phosphoric acid (complex) salts. The extraction method uses a large amount of organic reagents, slag acid with poor water solubility can be generated, and the process flow is longer; chemical precipitation introduces chemical reagents into phosphoric acid, and the precipitated phosphate also causes waste of phosphorus resources and has a long process.
At present, the purification method of wet-process phosphoric acid which is not industrially applied but has a small report in the scientific paper comprises the following steps: nanofiltration technology for separating phosphoric acid and phosphate is a pressure-driven membrane filtration technology .H.Diallo,M.Rabiller-Baudry,K.Khaless,B.Chaufer,On the electrostatic interactions in the transfer mechanisms of iron during nanofiltration in high concentrated phosphoric acid,Journal of Membrane Science,427(2013)37-47. which, based on the molecular size of the substance and the charged charges, discloses the cooperation of Morocco and French scientists and reports the separation of metal cation phosphates in high-concentration phosphoric acid by means of acid-resistant nanofiltration membranes.
The electrolytic-electrodialysis coupling process separates phosphoric acid and phosphate, positive ions and negative ions in the solution are driven to migrate in opposite directions by using an external direct-current voltage, and hydrogen ions and metal positive ions in the phosphoric acid solution are separated by combining the characteristic that the ion exchange membrane selectively permeates the positive ions or the negative ions, so that the phosphoric acid is purified to a certain extent. The method is reported for the first time in 1996 that (D.Touaibia,H.Kerdjoudj,A.T.Cherif,Concentration and purification of wet industrial phosphoric acid by electro-electrodialysis,Journal of Applied Electrochemistry,26(1996)1071-1073.), has been studied in a small amount in recent years, but has not been industrially applied after decades of development.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a novel phosphoric acid purifying method.
In order to solve the technical problem of the invention, the method for purifying phosphoric acid comprises the following steps:

Detailed Description
In order to solve the technical problem of the invention, the method for purifying phosphoric acid comprises the following steps:
dividing two chambers by a cation exchange membrane, introducing wet phosphoric acid solution into one side, and introducing washing acid solution into the other side to remove impurities in the wet phosphoric acid solution; preferably, the above steps are repeated more than 3 times.
If the above steps are repeated for more than 3 times, as shown in fig. 4, 3 sets of the daonan dialyzers can be combined, and the impurity removal rate is further improved.
The invention can be produced by single-stage or multi-stage south-channel dialyzer combination, and the multi-stage south-channel dialyzer combination can be connected in series or in parallel when being produced.
For example, in one embodiment, a continuous two-stage co-current mode as shown in FIG. 1 may be employed:
Continuous means that the flow of the wash acid solution strip is continuous, two stages means that there are two stages of the southward dialysis process n=2, and parallel flow means that the flow direction of the wash acid solution and the wet phosphoric acid is the same. Optionally between the two stages, the second stage wash acid inlet is supplemented with a further wash acid solution, strip II, which may be the same as Strip I or different. Wet phosphoric acid may optionally be refluxed at each stage.

In one embodiment, a discontinuous two-stage co-current mode as shown in FIG. 3 may be employed: discontinuous means that the washing acid solution Strip I of the previous stage is not introduced by the dialysis in the south of the way of each stage, while the new washing acid solution Strip II is used, so that the flow of the washing acid solution is discontinuous in the whole process. The washing acid solution Strip II may be the same as Strip I or may be different.
In one embodiment, a hybrid three stage countercurrent mode as shown in FIG. 4 may be employed:
by mixed it is meant that the flow of the wash acid solution between the different tannan dialyzers includes both continuous and discontinuous cases, as in the figure the wash acid solution between the second and third stages is continuous and the wash acid solution between the second and first stages is discontinuous. The washing acid solution Strip II may be the same as Strip I or may be different.

The linear rate of relative movement of phosphoric acid and the wash acid is the linear rate of movement of the wet phosphoric acid solution relative to the membrane surface + the linear rate of movement of the wash acid solution relative to the membrane surface.
The rate of the rinse rate has an effect on the rate of impurity ion transfer across the membrane when the rinse rate is low, increasing with increasing rinse rate. But after the rinse rate (fluid line flow rate) is greater than about 2mm/s, the rinse rate has no significant effect on the metal ion transfer rate across the membrane.
It should be noted that when sulfuric acid is used as the washing acid, it is recommended that the line flow rate of the washing acid be selected to be a large value, at least greater than 1.5mm/s, in order to prevent calcium sulfate deposition on the washing acid solution side.

Obvious sediment is observed on the two side surfaces of the membrane, and a scanning electron micrograph of the sediment is shown in detail in fig. 13, wherein (a) sediment on the surface of the phosphoric acid side membrane and (b) sediment on the surface of the sulfuric acid side membrane are shown in fig. 13. The results of the spectroscopic analysis of the precipitate are shown in detail in FIGS. 14-17. The precipitates on the surface of the film were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope's energy spectrometer and found to be mainly CaSO 4, gypsum. This is because the wet phosphoric acid contains a small amount of Ca 2+. The initial Ca 2+ content in the wet acid was analyzed to be at least 1.01g/L. The presence of the precipitate results in a significant decrease in the rate of metal ion transfer across the membrane and the efficiency of the phosphate purification by the southward dialysis becomes low.
