IMPROVEMENT OF THE PRODUCT COMPOSITION FROM NITRIC ACID PROCESSING OF KYZYLKUM CARBONATE PHOSPHORITES

Abstract

The process of producing NP-fertilizers by nitric-sulfuric acid decomposition of phosphate rock (17.20% P2O5) under thickening slurry conditions has been studied. It was shown that the higher the recycle ratio, the lower the moisture content of the final product. Increasing the HNO3 dosage above 30% and H2SO4 above 70% is undesirable, as the product's moisture content exceeds 6.03% and it has increased acidity. To avoid issues during ammoniation, an optimal rate of nitric and sulfuric acid was proposed—73.5-91%, which produced products containing 9.34-10.61% -P2O5total; 3.04-4.54% N; P2O5 digestive:P2O5 total = 73.4-82.3%; pH = 3.3-3.6, and granule strength of 2.1-2.3 MPa. The process of producing NPK-fertilizers was also studied by adding nitrogen components such as K2SO4, KCl, and K2CO3 to the products of complete nitric acid decomposition of washed and dried concentrate (24.10% P2O5) and fine fractions (18.55% P2O5). The process includes decarbonization and decomposition of the phosphate raw material (simultaneously in one apparatus), neutralization to a pH not lower than 3.5, evaporation of the slurry to a density of at least 1750 kg/m3, the addition of potassium salts at N:P2O5:K2O ratios of 1:1:1, 1.5:1:1, and 1:1.5:1, product granulation, drying in the presence of recycle, and cooling.

INTRODUCTION

Since 2005, a pilot-industrial unit for the production of

nitrocalcium phosphate fertilizer (NPF) has been

operating at OAO "Samarqandkimyo" [1]. The

production process is based on the decomposition of

unbeneficiated phosphate rock from the Kyzylkum

deposit (mass %): P2O5 17.20; CaO 46.22; CaO : P2O5 =

2.96; Al2O3 1.24; Fe2O3 1.05; MgO 1.75; F 2.00; CO2 16.0;

Cl 0.1 with 57% nitric acid (HNO3) in the range of 55-65%

of stoichiometry for binding all the CaO in the

phosphate, followed by neutralization of the free

acidity of the nitrocalcium phosphate slurry with

gaseous ammonia, evaporation, granulation, and

drying of the final product [2-5]. With incomplete HNO3

dosage, the overall reaction is as follows:

2Са5(PO4)3F + 10HNО3 = Са(Н2РО4)2 + 4СаНРО4 + 5Са(NO3)2 + 2HF

According to this reaction, the final product consists of

mono- and dicalcium phosphate salts mixed with

calcium nitrate in various degrees of hydration. The

latter depends on the crystallization conditions of

calcium nitrate from the slurry during ammoniation,

evaporation, and drying. The moisture content of the

initial slurry is 37% H2O, while the evaporated slurry has

25% H2O. The temperature of the initial slurry is 40°C,

and the evaporated slurry is at 80°C. The slurry

evaporated in contact-type apparatus contains 8-9%

P2O5, 5-6% N, and has a density of 1.7-1.8 t/m³. Due to

the combination of evaporation and neutralization of

the residual acidity in the slurry with gaseous ammonia

in a single technological unit, the pH of the slurry

during evaporation increases and fluctuates between

3.5-4.0. The product obtained from such slurry consists

of dicalcium phosphate (20-25%), monocalcium

phosphate (10-15%), and calcium nitrate (50-55%) in

terms of anhydrous salt forms. Fertilizer of this

composition is undoubtedly of great agrochemical

interest [6].

Additionally, maintaining such a ratio of water- and

citrate-soluble forms of P2O5 and CaO in the reaction

mixture throughout the entire production cycle allows

the processing of nitrophosphate slurry into finished

fertilizers without the need to separate calcium nitrate

[7]. The granulation and drying of NPF in this case can

be carried out using the well-known scheme for

producing ammonium phosphate with the use of drum

granulator dryer apparatuses [8].

It should be noted that NPF granules have very poor

physical properties: they are highly hygroscopic, sticky,

disperse poorly, and are unsuitable for mechanized soil

application and fertilizer mixing [9]. Therefore, to

improve the physicochemical properties of NPF, we

proposed [10-12]: deep drying and instant cooling of

the product, the use of a large amount of fine product

fraction (granules smaller than 1 mm), and the

treatment and coating of granules with sulfate,

phosphate, and carbonate salts in the presence or

absence of organic substances (surfactants). These

proposed methods significantly improve the consumer

properties, particle size, and flowability. However,

during long-term storage and transportation of the

finished product, various secondary physicochemical

processes occur: moisture absorption from the air or

drying out, recrystallization due to hydration,

retrogradation,

dehydration,

polymorphic

transformations, and others.

To improve the properties of products from nitric acid

processing of carbonate phosphate raw materials,

various methods are used to remove excess calcium or

reduce the CaO:P2O5 ratio in the nitric acid slurry being

processed: 1) freezing (crystallization) of calcium

nitrate; 2) the introduction of additional amounts of

phosphoric acid; 3) precipitation of excess calcium with

sulfuric acid or ammonium sulfates; 4) precipitation of

excess calcium in the form of CaCO3 with carbon

dioxide and ammonia [13].

In the conditions of Uzbekistan, the most promising

and accessible method for improving the commercial

quality of NPF is the use of sulfuric acid to bind part of

the calcium in the nitric acid slurry into gypsum. In this

process, a target product can be obtained, containing

P2O5 partially or fully in water-soluble form. In this

case, phosphate raw material is decomposed using

nitric and sulfuric acids in a molar ratio.

In some countries, when producing nitrogen-

phosphorus fertilizer of the nitroammophosphate type

with a mass ratio of N : P2O5 = 1 : 1 and water-soluble

forms of P2O5 accounting for no less than 60% of the

total phosphorus content, the total consumption of

nitric and sulfuric acids is taken at 140% of the

stoichiometric amount to bind calcium and remove it

from the system as gypsum. In this case, the phosphate

is decomposed with nitric acid in the first two reactors,

with 60% of the total sulfuric acid being added to the

third and fourth reactors, and the remaining amount

dosed into the ammoniation reactor. The wet product

is then dried and granulated. However, to carry out this

process, high-quality phosphate raw material is

required, such as apatite concentrate from the Kola

Peninsula (39.5% P2O5, calcium modulus

i.e., the ratio

of CaO to P2O5

is 1,32) [13].

In contrast to the above method, we have developed a

process in which decarbonization and decomposition

of phosphate raw materials are carried out using low-

concentration nitric acid at various rates from the

stoichiometric amount needed to form calcium nitrate.

Both processes are conducted in a single apparatus,

with the acid being introduced into the reaction zone

in equal portions over 2-4 minutes with active stirring.

Then, sulfuric acid is added to the resulting

nitrocalcium phosphate slurry, which facilitates further

decomposition of the phosphate raw material and

partial drying of the slurry. In this case, the liquid phase

content in the reaction slurry is 2-4 times less than that

in the developed NPF technology [2, 14]. As a result, the

decomposition of carbonate phosphate raw materials

does not result in excessive foaming or the release of

nitrogen oxides into the gas phase. The resulting thick

mass, or its mixture with neutralizing additives (such as

ammonia), is fed into a mixer where return material is

simultaneously added in the amount needed to

maintain a moisture content of 20-25%. Granulation of

the slurry is best performed in a screw or pan

granulator in the presence of return material.

METHODS

For laboratory studies, three types of phosphate raw

materials from the Kyzylkum deposit were used:

phosphate flour, washed dried concentrate, and fine

fraction. The fine fraction is produced during the

crushing and grinding of the ore to produce phosphate

flour and is currently not utilized. Given the acute

shortage of high-quality phosphate raw materials, we

believe that these materials should also be used in

agricultural production. The only requirement is to

convert the non-available P2O5 form into a form that is

accessible to plants. Kyzylkum phosphorites are

granular phosphorites, whose main mineral is

francolite. It has the unit cell parameters a₀ = 9.33A°, c₀

= 6.89A°, and contains 37% P2O5, 3.5% CO2, and up to 3%

SO3, which isomorphic enters its crystal structure.

The chemical formula of francolite (staffelite) is as

follows:

2Ca10P5.2C0.8O23.2F1.8OH

5.2P2O5 + 18.2CaO + 1.6CO2 + 1.8CaF2 + H2O

At the initial stage, we studied in laboratory conditions

the process of producing nitrogen-phosphorus

fertilizers through decarbonization and decomposition

of phosphate flour, the composition of which is shown

in Table 1, first with nitric acid, then sulfuric acid, with a

total acid norm ranging from 20.7% to 123% of the

stoichiometry for the formation of calcium nitrate.

In this process, the amount of HNO₃ (NHNO₃) varied

from 5% to 31%, and H₂SO₄ (NH₂SO₄) varied from 7.6% to

93% of the stoichiometry required to bind the CaO in

the phosphate raw material. The concentration of the

first acid was (CHNO₃) 50% and 54%, and of t

he second

(CH₂SO₄) 65% and 92%. The interaction time between

the phosphate raw material and nitric acid was 15

minutes, and the reaction time of the nitrocalcium

phosphate slurry with sulfuric acid was also 15-20

minutes at a temperature of 75-80°C. After completing

the mixing process, the acidic reaction mixtures were

neutralized with gaseous ammonia until the pH was no

lower than 3.0. They were then dried at 90-100°C. The

mass of the product was measured, and the moisture

content of the slurry was determined. Granulation of

the wet phosphate masses was performed during the

drying process using intensive mixing and granulation

in the presence of return material. The final samples

were then cooled, crushed, and chemically analyzed

for various forms of P₂O₅ a

nd CaO, as well as nitrogen

and CO₂ content according to known methods [15]. The

degree of decarbonization of the phosphate raw

material was calculated by changes in CO₂ content. The

pH of the product was determined after shaking a 10%

aqueous suspension for one hour. The strength of the

fertilizer granules was determined using the MIP-10-1

device [15].

DISCUSSION

Experimental data showed that the higher the amount

of return material, the lower the moisture content of

the final product. For example, with an increase in the

amount of return material to 8 parts by mass in relation

to 1 part by mass of the initial product, the moisture

content decreased from the initial 22% to 1.5% in the

final product (see figure, curve-1), meaning that the

granulation process can be carried out using a pan or

screw granulator. Table 2 presents the composition of

products obtained from nitric-sulfuric acid processing

of phosphate flour, depending on the amount of nitric

and sulfuric acids used with a return ratio of 1:6.

(1

It can be observed that with identical concentrations

of nitric and sulfuric acids (54% HNO3 and 92% H2SO4)

and a constant norm of HNO3 at 11% and 21%, increasing

the amount of H2SO4 from 23% to 93% results in a

decrease in total P2O5 content in the products from

13.50% to 9.36% and from 12.80% to 8.43%, respectively.

Conversely, the total nitrogen content (Ntotal)

increases from 1.97% to 4.27% and from 4.80% to 5.47%,

respectively. In this case, the ratio P2O5 digestive:

P2O5total increases from 40.1% to 91.3% and from 50.4%

to 92.1%, with the degree of decarbonization of

phosphate raw materials (Kdecarb.) rising from 75.0%

to 97.5% and from 86% to 98%. It is worth noting that

under these conditions, the total norms of nitric and

sulfuric acids fluctuate within 33-103% and 45-114% of

stoichiometry, respectively.

With the same changes in H2SO4 norms and a relatively

high norm of HNO3 at 31% (with a total acid norm of 53-

123%), the total P2O5 content in the products

decreases, albeit slightly (from 11.54% to 8.14%), while

the Ntotal content remains sufficiently high (5.47%-

7.07%). At this point, the phosphate raw materials are

fully decarbonized (90%-98%), and the products have a

soluble P2O5 to total P2O5 ratio ranging from 60% to

95%.

However, increasing the norm of HNO3 beyond 30%

and H2SO4 beyond 70% is undesirable, as the product

moisture exceeds 6.03% and exhibits increased acidity,

necessitating deeper ammonization of the reaction

mass. This leads to a reduction in the content of

nutrients and retrogradation of P2O5, which is the

transition of water-soluble monocalcium phosphate to

citrate-soluble dicalcium phosphate according to the

reaction:

Са(Н2РО4)2 + NH3 = CaHPO4 + NH4H2PO4

Further reduction of soluble forms of P2O5 during

ammonization can be attributed to subsequent

retrogradation of P2O5 according to the reaction:

2СаНРО4 + СаS

O4 + 2NH3 = Ca3(PO4)2 + (NH4)2SO4

To avoid additional ammonization processes that lead

to the negative phenomena mentioned above, we

selected the optimal total norms of nitric and sulfuric

acids as 73.5%, 80%, and 91%, respectively, with HNO3 at

With this content of available phosphorus, the

products obtained are effective nitrogen-phosphorus

fertilizers.

Next, the process of obtaining complex NPK fertilizers

was studied. For this, potassium components were

added to the products of nitric acid processing of

washed dried concentrate and powdery fractions, the

compositions of which are presented in Table 1.

The

process

includes

the

simultaneous

decarbonization and decomposition of phosphate raw

materials (in one apparatus), neutralization to a pH of

no less than 3.5, evaporation of the pulp to a density of

at least 1750 kg/m³, addition of potassium salts in a

mass ratio of N:P2O5:K2O equal to 1:1:1, 1.5:1:1, and

1:1.5:1, granulation of the product, and drying in the

presence of return and cooling. The amounts of nitric

acid and potassium salts per 100 kg of phosphate rock,

given the specified mass ratio of N:P2O5:K2O, are

calculated using the following formulas:

АНNO3 = (CP2О5*63/14) *(100 / C НNO3) * (ПN / ПP2О5);

Аp/r = 100 * ПP2О5;

А к.salt= 0,5(CP2О5* Мк.salt / СK2О) *(ПK2О / ПP2О5);

Where, AHNO3, Ap/r, AK.salt, are the amounts of nitric

acid, phosphate raw material, and potassium salts,

respectively; CP2O5, CK2O are the contents of P2O5

and K2O in the phosphate raw material and potassium

salt, respectively; CHNO3 is the concentration of nitric

acid;

MK.salt is the molecular weight of potassium salts;

and ПN, ПP2O5, ПK2O

are the numerical values of the

specified mass ratios of N, P2O5, and K2O, respectively.

As potassium components, we used sulfate, chloride,

and carbonate salts, whose hygroscopicity (on a 10-

point scale) is presented below (table-3):

Potassium salts are added to the mixer, where the

evaporated melt is simultaneously introduced in an

amount necessary to maintain the mass ratio of

N:P2O5:K2O equal to 1:1:1, 1.5:1:1, and 1:1.5:1. Visual

observations indicate that the granulation process in

the presence of return must be conducted while

maintaining the moisture content in the mass at no

more than 7-8%. It is important to note that reducing

the density of the melt to less than 1750 kg/m³

complicates the granulation process and deteriorates

the properties of the resulting fertilizers due to

increased moisture content.

Table 3 presents the compositions of the complex

fertilizers. It is evident that based on the product of

nitric acid decomposition of washed dried concentrate

and potassium components, with the mass ratio of

N:P2O5:K2O varying from 1:1:1 to 1.5:1:1 and 1:1.5:1, the

composition of granulated NPK fertilizers appears as

follows: for K2SO4

7.2-10.89% N; 7.26-10.76% P2O5

with a total of nutrients

25.5-26.5%; 7.2-8.84% K2O; for

KCl

7.7-11.6% N; 7.72-11.43% P2O5; 7.7-9.53% K2O with a

total of nutrients

27-28.5%; for K2CO3

7.9-9.84% N;

7.92-11.9% P2O5; 7.9-9.84% K2O with a total of nutrients

27.7-29.5%.

A similar pattern is observed for NPK fertilizers based

on powdery fractions and potassium components, but

with a relatively low content of nutrients. In any case,

all samples of the products meet all the requirements

of agriculture in terms of physical-chemical and

commercial properties, making them suitable for bulk

storage, transportation, and application.

Thus, as a result of implementing the proposed option,

all the advantages of existing methods are preserved:

the drying stage is reduced, and the technology allows

for the regulation of the compositions of complex

fertilizers within a wide range of nutrient component

ratios and their physical-chemical properties. The

obtained

complex

fertilizers

possess

good

agrochemical properties and are suitable for all types

of agricultural crops.

from the products of nitric-sulfuric acid processing of

phosphorites from Central Kyzylkums and potassium

Technical and economic calculations indicate the

profitability of the proposed method. Savings are

achieved through improved product quality and the

use of inexpensive highly carbonized phosphorites

(unbeneficiated

Based on the conducted research on the improvement

of the composition of products from the nitric acid

decomposition of carbonate phosphorites: methods

for enhancing the quality of products from the nitric

acid processing of carbonate phosphate raw materials

have been analyzed; the process of obtaining NP

fertilizers

through

the

nitric-sulfuric

acid

decomposition of phosphate rock in the conditions of

thickening pulp has been studied, which excludes the

stage of ammonization of the decomposition

products; and the process of obtaining NPK fertilizers

by adding nitrogen components such as K2SO4, KCl,

and K2CO3 to the products of complete nitric acid

decomposition of washed dried concentrate and

powdery fractions has been studied. It has been

established

that

when

using

washed

dried

concentrate, products with a relatively low content of

nutrients are obtained.
