Phosphoric acid is produced by the reaction of sulfuric acid with phosphate rock. Phosphoric acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid, is very often further concentrated by evaporating water and formation of superphosphoric acid. Wet-process phosphoric acid plants produce about 4.5 tons of gypsum per ton of P 2 O 5. This phosphor-gypsum ...

Mining of rock phosphate occurs in an open area, and sometimes explosives are used for crushing. Rock phosphate is homogenized before the preparation of SSP, which involves the reaction of rock phosphate with sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive chemical used in the formation of phosphate fertilizers.

Ground phosphate rock is reacted with sulfuric acid to form a semi-solid, which cools for several hours in a den. The plastic-like material is then conveyed to a storage pile for several weeks of additional curing. The hardened material is then milled and screened to the appropriate particle size or granulated. The general chemical reaction is ...

Phosphate-solubilizing (PS) microbes are important to improve phosphorus availability and transformation of insoluble phosphate, e.g., rock phosphate (RP). The use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as inoculants have been proposed as an alternative to increase phosphate availability in RP and composting fertilizers. In this …

However, the predictions of Eq. (14) are not in good agreement of the experimental results for a leaching phosphate rock into sulfuric acid. The gap is substantial for the high reaction time (Fig. 6).The reason of this is that the formation of the solid (gypsum) can clog the pores and the pore diffusion model will be faulty.

changed little during the past century-sulfuric acid re-mains a major industrial ingredient for solubilizing the phosphate and making it more available as a fertilizer. Sin-gle superphosphate (SSP) is a product made from a mix-ture of phosphate rock and sulfuric acid. Usually it contains about 16%-22% P: 2: 0: 5

The most economical method for making phosphoric acid is by treating phosphate rock with sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). Phosphate rock is naturally-occurring rock with large amounts of calcium phosphate (Ca 3 (PO 4) 2). The product of this reaction is generally not very pure, but sufficiently pure for use in the production of fertilizers.
