Chapter 5The cake is more acidic than gypsum filter cake because of the extra P 2 O 5 losses. It alsocontains more fluoride and cadmium.The demands on vulnerable items of equipment, particularly agitators and slurry pumps, areincreased as a result of the higher temperature (100 ºC) and acidic concentration (40 – 50 %P 2 O 5 ) in comparison to a dihydrate plant.Achieved environmental benefits• energy savings due to reduction or elimination of the need for evaporation• energy savings due to lower rock grinding requirements (may use coarse rock).Cross-media effects• low P 2 O 5 efficiency: 90 – 94 %• produces impure hemihydrate (1.1 % P 2 O 5 ).Operational dataSee description.ApplicabilityGenerally applicable. Limited number of rocks processed industrially. The overall efficiencydepends on the rock type.EconomicsRequires higher grade alloys in comparison to processes with lower temperature.Driving force for implementationCost benefits.References to literature and example plants[29, RIZA, 2000, 31, EFMA, 2000], Kemira <strong>Chemicals</strong> Oy, Finland<strong>Large</strong> <strong>Volume</strong> <strong>Inorganic</strong> <strong>Chemicals</strong> – <strong>Ammonia</strong>, Acids and Fertilisers 229
