摘要
Effects of reaction temperature and reaction time on phosphorus conversion were investigated using silica and potassium feldspar as flux agents. The results show that phosphorus conversion with K-feldspar was higher than that of silica. Thermodynamics and kinetics of the phosphate rock reduction process were studied by HSC-5 thermodynamics software and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results demonstrate that when using K-feldspar, the operating temperature of yellow phosphorus and the activation energy is 215℃ and 3.2 kJ·mol-1 lower than that of silica, respectively, which indicates that K-feldspar can save energy and reduce cost. The residue was analyzed by XRD. The results indicate that K-feldspar as a flux agent is better than silica. The reason is mainly because K-feldspar decomposition can release highly reactive SiO2, and Ca5(PO4)3F can be decomposed at low temperature. Moreover, alkali metals are involved to lower eutectic formation temperature which facilitates main reactions. © 2017, Editorial Board of “Journal of Chemical Engineering of Chinese Universities”.
