PROCESSING OF PHOSPHATE COMPOUNDS

A method for processing of phosphate compounds comprises providing (S10) of a primary liquid being an acid solution comprising at least phosphorous. Phosphate compounds comprising iron are precipitated (S20) from the primary liquid by adding (S22) a first additive material to the primary liquid. The...

Zusammenfassung:A method for processing of phosphate compounds comprises providing (S10) of a primary liquid being an acid solution comprising at least phosphorous. Phosphate compounds comprising iron are precipitated (S20) from the primary liquid by adding (S22) a first additive material to the primary liquid. The first additive material comprises iron hydroxide and a solid filter-aid material. First solid matter, comprising the precipitated phosphate compounds and the solid filter-aid material is separated (S28) by a first filtering. The separated first solid matter is exposed (S30) for an alkaline solution, causing a dissolution (S32) of phosphate compounds and precipitation (S32) of iron hydroxide, which gives a secondary liquid. Second solid matter comprising the precipitated iron hydroxide and the solid filter-aid material is removed (S38) by a second filtering. Part of the second solid matter is recycled (S40) as the first additive material. A system for processing of phosphate compounds is also disclosed.
