- the filtration time provides information on the shape of the phosphogypsum crystals present in the phosphate material.
- the filtration time also provides information on the quality of the phosphoric acid produced. Density gives information on the acid's titer phosphoric acid produced and must be greater than 1.266 at 25 ° C to achieve a generally acceptable quality.
- the amount of free sulfate present in the acid (g / L) is estimated from the level of unreacted residual sulfuric acid when treating the phosphate material particles of the slurry. It makes it possible to provide information on the evolution of the phosphoric acid preparation reaction.
- the aqueous phosphoric acid solution comprises residual sulphate ions in a concentration by weight ranging from 20 to 35 g / l. More preferably, the aqueous phosphoric acid solution comprises residual sulfate ions in a concentration by weight ranging from 22 to 26 g / l.
- the filterability of the suspension of phosphate material makes it possible to evaluate the capacity of production of strong phosphoric acid.
- the filterability of phosphogypsum is related to its crystallinity. Particular forms of phosphogypsum crystals can lead to stacks that degrade filtration efficiency or filter clogging. On a scale of 1 to 7, the filterability should be from 5 to 7, preferably from 6 to 7.
- the filterability F is calculated according to the formula: for which
- A represents the specific constant of the measurement technique
- tl represents the filtration time of the strong phosphoric acid (s)
- t2 represents the filtration time of the average phosphoric acid (s)
- t3 represents the filtration time of the weak phosphoric acid (s).
- the density of the strong phosphoric acid is measured by means of a graduated gravimeter of 1200 to 1300 or 1300 to 1400, and at a temperature of 25.degree. C.
- the titration of the phosphoric acid solution is carried out in a known manner as such. The results obtained are shown in Table 6.
- the phosphogypsum (calcium sulfate) crystals must be of controlled size in order to improve their separation by filtration.
- the sizes and dimensions of the crystals of different filtration retents are determined by means of an optical microscope (Olympus SZX-ILLD200, DF PLFL lens 1.6 * PF) producing images processed using Imagej software. Different crystal forms are present: acicular (A), tabular (B), or compact crystal or polycrystalline (C) forms. For these crystals of different forms, several size ranges are present.
- Crystals of type (Q3) allow the best results of filtration. The results are shown in Table 6.
- a B C pulp without polymer 60) 0.12 0.81 0.82 92.0 pulp without polymer (> 70) 0.12 0.67 0.67 94.3 pulp with polymer (P4)
