Solvent extraction for cleaning phosphoric acid in fertilizer production

Abstract: Phosphorites of sedimentary origin utilized in manufacturing of fertilizer contain uranium, thorium and products of their radioactive decay, as well as health-endangering compounds of cadmium, arsenic and fluorides. Some of them may transit into the phosphoric acid, when breaking down the phosphorites with sulphuric acid, and then into the fertilizer. The purpose of the phosphoric acid cleaning is its decontamination from uranium and thorium as well as the removal of toxic cadmium. The above task can be achiev… Show more

“…3were all very high confirming that Cd 3 (PO 4 ) 2 formed is unstable and salting out of Cadmium is the net effect as reported in related Cadmium extraction study 27,28 . Comparing results with those reported with buffered aqueous solutions of Cadmium (II) at pH 6.0-8.0 which had percent extraction of Cadmium between 99.4%-99.9% 20 indicated that the acids, anions and complexing agents used for the study did not enhance the extraction of Cadmium at the study pH of 7.5.…”

“…Various processes have been investigated for the purification of phosphoric acid 2,3 or for cadmium extraction from acidic solutions; 4,5 one of the most promising is liquid/liquid extraction using selected solvent/extractant systems. [2][3][4][5] However, solvent extraction is frequently limited to industrial applications because of several economical, technical, and environmental constraints, including extractant dispersion, loss of solvent, and pollution impact. 6 To improve the applicability of solvent extraction systems, several impregnation techniques have been developed, including resin impregnation, 7,8 the use of liquid membrane systems, 9 and more recently, hollow fiber systems.…”

“…Previous studies pointed out that one of the best extractant to remove cadmium by solvent extraction was TOA in kerosene. 32,33 Cadmium can form anionic chloro complexes in chloride solutions and they could be separated from the organic phase by contacting with organic anion exchanger such as protonated TOA. It can be confirmed that below 10% of TOA was enough to extract cadmium with efficiency of about 90%.…”
