Thermal phosphoric acid is almostexclusively produced for specific applications which require a very pure acid such as metalsurface treatment in the micro-electronics industry and the acidulation of beverages.EconomicsHigher production costs per tonne H 3 PO 4 in comparison with wet processes.Driving force for implementationProduct purity requirements.References to literature and example plants[29, RIZA, 2000], Thermphos International, Vlissingen254 <strong>Large</strong> <strong>Volume</strong> <strong>Inorganic</strong> <strong>Chemicals</strong> – <strong>Ammonia</strong>, Acids and Fertilisers
