ing substance, it being however, of course, also possible, if desired, to use in conjunction there-- with other alkali-yielding substances of the hereinbefore mentioned kind. When employing such phosphates, phosphates poorer in alkali, such as disodium phosphate, are obtained after the conversion, which can then, be regenerated and be thereafter again used for the conversion process. This regeneration can, for example, be effected by treating the phosphates in question with aqueous alkali carbonate or the like at ele-'- vated temperature, preferably above 100 C. and elevated pressure. In thiscase also the material is with advantage thoroughly mechanically mixed, for example, by stirring, and the carbon dioxide set free thereby removed.
It is advisable in all cases to employ the starting materials as well as the oxidizing agent in the highest possible concentration.
Examples 1. 2 parts by weight of very finely ground ferr0-' phosphorus (containing.19% of phosphorus) are mixed with 1.95 parts by weight of sodium carbonate and, after adding 20 parts of water, heated in an autoclave with thoroughstirring to 200 to 350? C. until the conversion is completed, the progress of which can be followed by 'the gen or air at .a slightly higher pressure-than that corresponding to the vapour tension at the said temperature is passed through the apparatus during the conversion, the carbon dioxide being simultaneously removed, the resulting liquor is filtered off from the residue and isthen worked up in known mannerto sodium phosphate. a 7 i 2 2 parts by weight of very finely ground ferrophosphorus (containing 19% of phosphorus) are mixed with 1.47 parts by Weight of sodiurnhydroxide and, after-adding 20 parts of Water, heated in an autoclave with thorough stirring to .200" to 350 C. until the conversion is completed. v During the conversion oxygen or air at a slightly higher pressure than thatcorresponding tothe vapour tension at the said temperature is passed into the apparatus. The resulting liquor is filtered oir from the residue and is then worked up" in known manner to sodium phosphate.
