Abstract
Phosphate tailings, a solid waste generated during phosphate processing, pose environmental pollution risks. Phosphate concentrate and dicalcium phosphate monohydrate Ca(H2PO4)2 · H2O were successfully prepared from phosphate tailings through a selective leaching of dilute H3PO4 solution followed by evaporation, concentration, and cooling crystallization. The process conditions were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM). Reaction temperature was identified as the most significant factor during acid leaching. Raising temperatures increased the phosphate grade of the residue. Leaching conditions were optimized as 16 P2O5 wt% H3PO4 concentration, 75 °C, and 30 min. Under these conditions, the P2O5 content of the concentrate reached 27.1%. During crystallization, the seed dosage was the key factor affecting the yield. Increasing the seed dosage significantly improved crystallization yield. Under optimal conditions, the yield of Ca(H2PO4)2 · H2O was 22.7%.
