摘要

Solvent extraction is a broadly employed method for removing impurities from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA). However, the raffinate acid generated by this method remains underutilized due to its high viscosity and elevated metal impurity (Fe, Al, Mg) content and nonmetallic impurities (S, F), resulting in resource waste. This study employs P-15 as the extractant to purify raffinate acid and introduces an innovative stripping–crystallization process for the separation and recovery of Al3+ and Mg2+, yielding high-value products. A comparative analysis of various stripping agents identified a sulfuric acid solution containing ammonium sulfate as the optimal system. Under the optimized conditions (temperature: 303.15 K, organic–aqueous phase ratio (O/A): 1:1, sulfuric acid concentration: 30 wt.%, reaction time: 30 min), the stripping efficiency reached its optimal value. Theoretical stage calculations using the McCabe–Thiele method and cascade simulation determined that a two-stage countercurrent operation is required. To address crystallization inhibition caused by aluminum–fluoride complexes, silicon or boron (introduced as sodium silicate or borax) was incorporated to form more stable SiF62−or BF4- complexes, facilitating Al3+ release and its subsequent precipitation as NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O. Further addition of ammonium sulfate enabled the formation of (NH4)2Mg(SO4)2·6H2O. This study provides an efficient and environmentally friendly process for the valorization of raffinate acid from WPA production, offering significant industrial application potential and environmental benefits.
