Abstract:
Production of fine particulate Maddrell''s salt by subjecting coarsely granular Maddrell''s salt to grinding. The ground Maddrell''s salt is annealed for a period of between 0.5 and 4 hours at a temperature of between 360* and 420* C., and a product with a low fraction of water-soluble matter therein is obtained.
Abstract:
Production of Maddrell''s salt by heating feed material consisting of monobasic sodium phosphate to a temperature substantially of 450* C., comprising carrying out the heating step in the temperature range between 200* and 450* C. while maintaining in the feed material a steam partial pressure between 50 and 450 mm. mercury.

In a process of making alkali metal phosphates by neutralizing crude vanadium-containing wetprocess phosphoric acids, containing up to 1000 p.p.m. of vanadium, based on P 2 O 5 , at least 0À3 g./100 g. dissolved P 2 O 5 of the Fe(III) contained in the acids is reduced to Fe(II) by alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal sulphide. The acids are then neutralized by an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate to a pH above 4À5, precipitated impurities, e.g. Fe, Al, and Ca phosphates containing vanadium are filtered off, and alkali metal phosphates are separated from the filtrate. The resulting phosphate contains less than 10 p.p.m. (based on P 2 O 5 ) of vanadium. A preferred reducing agent is barium sulphide, which precipitates sulphate and arsenic in addition to reducing trivalent iron. The reducing agents are preferably used in an amount more than 5 times that stoichiometrically required to reduce the Fe 3+ . Alkali metal phosphates containing less than 2 p.p.m. vanadium are obtainable if the amount of Fe(III) reduced is more than 0À8 g./100 g. P 2 O 5 . Sodium phosphate is exemplified.

1283124 Maddrell's salt KNAPSACK AG and BENCKISER-KNAPSACK GmbH 30 Oct 1970 [13 Nov 1969] 51721/70 Heading C1A Maddrell's salt (insoluble Na metaphosphate) is ground and then annealed at 360-420 C. for 0À5-4 hrs. The initial material may contain up to 5% acid pyrophosphate and may be ground to 99% less than 40 Á. Heating may be effected in an electrically heated rotating tube. The product may have a water soluble fraction of less than 3%.

1,268,124. Purifying phosphoric acids or phosphates. KNAPSACK A.G. 21 Nov., 1969 [30 Nov., 1968], No. 57147/69. Heading C1A. Manganese is removed from phosphoric acids or acid alkali metal phosphate solutions, containing between 100 and 1000 p.p.m. by wt. manganese, based on P 2 O 5 , by establishing in the solution a concentration of magnesium, calcium or iron (II) cations of more than 2000 p.p.m. by wt., based on P 2 O 5 , neutralizing the acid solution with an alkali metal base, so as to establish an alkali metal oxide to P 2 O 5 molar ratio of more than 1À9, and filtering off the resulting precipitate to leave an alkali metal phosphate solution. The cations may be added in the form of MgSO 4 , CaCl 2 or FeSO 4 . Trivalent iron cations present in the solution may be reduced to the bivalent cation, by, for instance, hydrogen sulphide, or compounds yielding hydrogen sulphide such as sodium or barium sulphide.
