- Example 8 Purification of phosphoric acid by addition of sulfate
- Example 8-1 Examination of phosphate recovery rate in supernatant
- Calcium was removed as calcium sulfate precipitate from the redissolved solution of the phosphate precipitate obtained in Example 7 by the following procedure. 1.
- the acid used in step 2 of Example 7 was a 1N nitric acid aqueous solution or a 1N hydrochloric acid aqueous solution.
- the amount of 5N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution added in step 4 of Example 7 was 100 ⁇ L. 2.
- Sulfuric acid or sulphate sodium sulphate, potassium sulphate, ammonium sulphate or magnesium sulphate
- the amount of sulfuric acid or sulfate added was such that the final concentration was 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M or 1.0M.
- the calcium sulfate precipitate that formed was removed by centrifugation. 4.
- the weight of phosphate contained in the supernatant was measured.
- a Malachite Green Phosphate Assay Kit (BioAssay Systems) was used for the measurement.

- Table 9 shows the results. It was found that if the concentration of sulfate is appropriately set, the same level of phosphoric acid recovery can be achieved with sulfate as with sulfuric acid. Also, at a low concentration of 0.4 M, the phosphoric acid concentration obtained by adding sulfate tended to be slightly higher than the phosphoric acid concentration obtained by adding sulfuric acid. Importantly, not only does the addition of sulfate allow for a smaller system volume than the addition of sulfuric acid, but the concentration of phosphoric acid obtained is as much as 1.5 times higher. In this respect, the method according to one embodiment of the invention is a useful method for purifying phosphoric acid. Furthermore, when the technique is put into practical use, it is preferable that the amount of sulfuric acid or sulfate added is small.
- sulfate rather than sulfuric acid for calcium precipitation has the following advantages.
- ⁇ Phosphate concentration is about 1.5 times higher.
- ⁇ Because no liquid is added the increase in volume of the reaction system can be reduced.
- ⁇ Since the reaction system does not become strongly acidic, only a small amount of base is required for neutralization. ⁇ High safety.
- Example 8-2 Examination of ability to remove calcium from supernatant
- the calcium content in the supernatant obtained in step 4 of Example 8-1 was measured.
- LAQUAtwin-Ca-11 was used for the measurement.
- the calcium residual rate was determined based on the calcium content in the precipitate formed by adding an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to the acid extract (precipitate obtained in step 5 of Example 7) before adding sulfuric acid or sulfate. Calculated.
- Table 11 shows the calculated relative ratio (%) of calcium amount (mg)/phosphoric acid amount (mg) based on the results of Tables 9 and 10.
- Phosphate can also be recovered by adding sulfuric acid, but it was shown that the amount of residual calcium was greater than that of the experimental system with the addition of sulfate at any concentration.
- the amount of residual calcium was significantly lower than in the experimental system to which sulfuric acid was added, indicating that the recovery of phosphoric acid was relatively high.
- the residual amount of calcium can be reduced to 0.2% by weight without reducing the recovery of phosphoric acid. Therefore, it can be said that it is more preferable to use sulfate than sulfuric acid for purifying phosphoric acid extracted from bone tissue.
- Example 8-3 Examination of phosphate leakage rate to precipitate
- the phosphoric acid content in the calcium sulfate precipitate obtained in step 3 of Example 8-1 was measured by the following procedure. 1. The calcium sulfate precipitate was redissolved by adding EDTA (pH 7.4) and 5N sodium hydroxide. 2. The phosphoric acid content in the resulting solution was measured. A Malachite Green Phosphate Assay Kit (BioAssay Systems) was used for the measurement. Also, the phosphoric acid loss was determined based on the phosphoric acid content in the precipitate formed by adding aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to the acid extract (precipitate obtained in step 5 of Example 7) before adding sulfuric acid or sulfate. calculated the rate.
- Table 12 shows the results. As can be seen from the table, the phosphate content in the calcium sulphate precipitate could be reduced to the same extent as the sulfuric acid by adjusting the sulphate concentration accordingly. If the sulfate concentration was 0.4M, the leaked phosphoric acid could be sufficiently reduced.
- Example 8-4 Examination of total phosphoric acid recovery rate
- the total amount of the phosphate recovery rate in the supernatant examined in Example 8-1 and the phosphate leakage rate to the precipitate examined in Example 8-3 was examined.
- Phosphoric acid contained in the precipitate has the potential to be re-recovered by washing the precipitate.
- phosphoric acid contained in the precipitate can be recovered by washing the precipitate (calcium sulfate) with pure water. Therefore, the higher the total phosphoric acid content, the higher the potential amount of phosphoric acid that can be recovered.

- Example 10 Examination of calcium ion removal efficiency by addition of sulfate

- Calcium removal efficiency was examined by measuring the calcium ion content in the supernatant after removing the precipitate.
- the specific procedure is as follows. 1. In the same manner as in Example 7, a redissolved solution of phosphoric acid precipitate was prepared. The acid used in step 2 of Example 7 was 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The amount of 5N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution added in step 4 of Example 7 was 100 ⁇ L. 2.
- Liquid sulfuric acid ( H2SO4 ) or solid sulfates ( Na2SO4 , K2SO4 , Mg2SO4 and ( NH4 ) 2SO4 ) were added.

- Calcium ion concentration was measured by measuring electric conductivity ( ⁇ S) and obtaining a regression equation from the area of the standard substance. From the calcium ion concentration, the calcium ion content per sample (30 ⁇ L) was determined.
- the calcium ions contained in the bone tissue contribute to a decrease in the recovery of phosphoric acid. This is because calcium ions combine with phosphate ions to form calcium phosphate precipitates in the neutral range. Therefore, it is desirable to remove calcium ions by precipitation, and it has been shown to be successfully removed by addition of sulfate.
- Potassium ions, magnesium ions or ammonium ions contained in sulfates are components necessary for plant growth. Therefore, when potassium sulfate, magnesium sulfate or ammonium sulfate is used as a sulfate, the fertilizer can contain the components necessary for plant growth. Alternatively, even if the base added in step 4 of Example 7 is changed from sodium hydroxide to potassium hydroxide, the fertilizer can contain components necessary for plant growth. By adopting such a manufacturing method, a fertilizer with increased value can be manufactured.

- Example 5 it was shown that the acid extract contained almost no protein components that were stained with the silver staining kit (see also Figure 14). For this reason, in Example 5, it was presumed that the peptide bonds of proteins were cleaved to form low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids. This example supports this presumption.
- Peptides become impurities in the production of phosphate. It was found that most of the peptides as impurities could be removed by repeating the calcium phosphate dissolution-precipitation process (steps S13 and S14 in FIG. 3). As shown in Table 19, repeating the dissolution-precipitation process three times reduced the peptide concentration by 1/100. This result suggested that peptides could be successfully removed to increase phosphate concentration, especially from acid extracts treated with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid.
