PROCESS FOR PREPARING CALCIUM FLUORIDE FROM FLUOSILICIC ACID
A process for preparing synthetic calcium fluoride (CaF2) (min 90% CaF2 by weight) from fluosilicic acid is provided. The processes comprises the steps of (a) reacting fluosilicic acid (H2SiF6) with ammonium hydroxide or ammonia in a first reactor so as to obtain a first slurry and filtering the fir...

Zusammenfassung: | A process for preparing synthetic calcium fluoride (CaF2) (min 90% CaF2 by weight) from fluosilicic acid is provided. The processes comprises the steps of (a) reacting fluosilicic acid (H2SiF6) with ammonium hydroxide or ammonia in a first reactor so as to obtain a first slurry and filtering the first slurry so as to obtain a filtrate containing a solution of ammonium fluoride (b) precipitating the solution of ammonium fluoride with calcium in a second reactor so as to produce a second slurry containing calcium fluoride and (c) evolving the major part of ammonia from the second reactor and then scrubbing and returning said ammonia to the first reactor. |
