Where is phosphoric acid sourced?

fluorapatite
Phosphoric acid is produced from fluorapatite, a phosphate rock, and the addition of a concentrated acid, such as sulfuric acid, in a series of well-stirred reactors. This results in phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate (gypsum).

What industries use phosphoric acid?

Phosphoric acid (PA) is an important industrial chemical used as an intermediate in the fertilizer industry, for metal surface treatment in the metallurgical industry, and as an additive in the food industry.

Who manufactures oxalic acid?

ProChem, Inc. Manufacturer of solid white oxalic acid including copper oxalate, potassium oxalate, yttrium oxalate, terbium oxalate, samarium oxalate and sodium oxalate. Physical properties of oxalic acids include 1.65 g/ml specific gravity and 101.5 degrees C melting point.

How is phosphoric acid manufacture?

In a wet process facility (see figure 1), phosphoric acid is produced by reacting sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with naturally occurring phosphate rock. The reaction also forms calcium sulfate (CaSO4), commonly referred to as gypsum. Insoluble gypsum is separated from the reaction solution by filtration.

How is phosphoric acid shipped?

Phosphoric acid is typically shipped in 10,000 gallon DOT-103 insulated or non-insulated rubber lined tank cars with safety valves. The rails cars themselves are ~ 9′ outside diameter with an overall length of ~45′ to 50′, with a 6′ x 6′ center opening or off-set crash box openings.
