New technology to upgrade phosphate sources into Di-Calcium Phosphate

Alexandre Wavreille, Prayon Technologies, Belgium

Following demographic expansion, the demand for phosphatic nutrients is continuously increasing all over the world. In this context, the quality of the phosphate raw material, conventional or secondary, is slowly decreasing year by year.

Prayon Technologies has developed and patented a new process route using sulphuric acid in dilute conditions that allows production of Di-calcium Phosphate (DCP) from phosphate sources with a low P₂O₅ content or rich in impurities. This DCP can either be processed as raw material for phosphoric acid production or used in the animal feed field.

There will be a written paper accompanying this presentation.
