Thereafter, oxalic acid is added to the slurry to precipitate the calcium therein as calcium oxalate which is separated. The liq- uid resulting therefrom which contains the phosphoric acid from the rock is then treated conventionally to recover the phosphoric acid therein, 15 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure eararsr Rd romermae Mirra, enc a| ® ve GA Z | es vas 15 4 [4 i ¥ lou ‘GESTION Tas lceysraccizee| ee U.S. Patent Aug. 22, 1978 4,108,957 4 ROCK PHOSPHATE z. learaysr MINING (ALKALINE OMS 4 Glia a scruBBER| |20 7 OXALATE SALTS SRINDING, 40 PHOSPHORIC ie | ACD 54h “ 4 24 ‘SCRUBBER DISTLLATION | 2 BE\ 8 Me MeSifs OXALIC ACID 4 DIGESTION TANK SETTLING O- TANK “DIGESTION TANK DIGESTION TANK SI SANDE SULFURIC ACID ORGANIC MATERIAL a DIGESTION TANK GYPSUM 54.

No. 665,330, filed Mar. 9, 1976, now abandoned. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a method for the manufac- ture of phosphoric acid from naturally occurring phos- phate rock and, particularly, to a method for obtaining high purity calcium sulphate and phosphoric acid from the phosphate rock. 2. Description of the Prior Art ‘A number of processes are known for the conversion of phosphate rock into phosphoric acid and other valu- able phosphorus containing materials. Generally, there are based on the formation of mono calcium phosphate, Cali,(PO,), which is a water soluble compound. This is generally effected by treating the phosphate rock with sulfuric acid to form a mixture which consists predomi- nantly of mono calcium phosphate and calcium sul- phate. ‘These prior art processes make use of strong mineral acids for strong bases in some cases and the processes are usually carried out at relatively high temperatures which, in turn, require elaborate installations and costy ‘materials for the plant equipment, such as, refractories, stainless steel, and the like. Moreover, a number of the prior art processes cannot be carried out effectively and efficiently on a continuous basis. Additionally, in the United States wherein phosphate rock is mined primarily by strip-mining, the excavator or the dragline deposits the ore in sumps where itis then broken up by water jets to produce a slurry. This slurry is pumped to a beneficiation plate where it undergoes a complex procedure involving wet-screening, hy-
