Abstract
The fertilizers industry is mainly developing its activities by processing phosphate, phosphoric acid and ammonia. The cadmium (Cd) is one of the most challenging materials, which is existed naturally in the heterogeneous mixture of phosphate ore as the main source of phosphate (feed of fertilizer production). The legal limits for cadmium in fertilizers is 60 mg/kg in different regions, guidelines and standards such as European Union (EU), China, Canada, and International Fertilizer Association (IFA). Therefore, the cadmium removal from wet phosphoric acid that is produced from the Wet Process Acid (WPA) is today a massive challenge to the fertilizers industry to face environmental, economic, financial, political and other legal constraints. These constraints have committed to develop significant research and innovation interests on cadmium removal technologies from the phosphate ore as feedstock and the produced phosphoric acid. The research reported in the present article aims to give a comprehensive overview and relevant developments of cadmium removal technologies in phosphoric acid industry, with a specific focus on technical feasibility, complexity, cost evaluation and sustainability of the main technologies that could present a potential application at the industrial scale.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
