To expand its range of use, various methods have been proposed to purify it which range from simple fading-clarification to more complex operations. These processes include essentially the liquid-liquid extraction, chemical precipitation, ion flotation, adsorption on activated carbon, ion exchange resins. However, the use of these techniques is limited to a number of disadvantages such as high operational cost, environmental pollution, complicated process, limited effectiveness, etc.. Our contribution for this domain (purification of wet-phosphoric acid) consists to use clays which could be adsorbent materials alternative to both economic and less polluting. These are phyllosilicates which have a large adsorption capacity due to their large specific surface and their surface charge. In this study, we will detail the processes which present great importance for the treatment of wet phosphoric acid.展开更多
