Phosphoric Acids and Phosphates

Abstract: Most commercial applications of phosphorus‐containing materials are based on phosphoric acids and phosphates. Uses, other than as fertilizer, include applications in detergency, foods and food processing, dental materials, dentifrices, metal surface treatments, flame retardants, etc. Structures and properties of orthophosphoric acid and condensed phosphoric acids are presented. The manufacture of technical‐ and food‐grade phosphoric acids by thermal and wet‐acid purification processes and some uses of various … Show more

“…It is well documented that phosphoric acid can be present as various types of monomeric and oligomeric species in an aqueous solution where the distribution is highly dependent on the concentration of phosphoric acids (or counted as P 2 O 5 ) in the solution. ,, As phosphoric acid becomes concentrated, it is shown to not only increase the quantity of orthophosphoric acid but also to drive oligomerization of phosphoric acid to polyphosphoric acid. The polyphosphoric acid acts as a strong acid because more protons can be released from polyphosphoric acid stabilized by tautomerization and delocalization of negative charge in the structure, eventually greatly increasing the acidity of the solution.…”

“…Phosphates would be a finite resource. Around 1850, the introduction of phosphates in food was associated with the development of synthetic phosphate fertilizers in the United States (Gilmour, 2019). There are major environmental issues, especially water pollution, resulting from the widespread use of phosphate‐based fertilizers, due to excessive growth of algae and oxygen depletion in lakes.…”

“…Phosphoric acid is industrially manufactured from phosphate rock in two main ways: thermal or wet processes [2]. The thermal process enables the production of high-quality phosphoric acid, but at a very significant energy cost and with severe environmental Materials 2023, 16, 6228 2 of 20 impacts [3].…”
