Each of the common metallic impurities-Al, Fe, K, Ca, and Mg-increased the density and viscosity at 25°C. of simulated wet-process phosphoric acids containing 50, 75, and 104.4% H3PO4. Common anionic impurities-Cl, F, S04, and S1O2had little effect on either viscosity or density. When two or more impurities were present, their effects were roughly additive, but no general relationship of the effects of the different impurities could be established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
