<p>The invention relates to the production of fertilizers, in particular potassium dihydrogen phosphate. This is obtained through acid attack on phosphate rock by a medium obtained by the reaction of sulphuric acid with potassium chloride. In particular, the phosphate rock is reacted with a medium comprising potassium bisulphate, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid. As a result, the solid calcium sulphate formed in the reaction mixture can be readily filtered off from the mother liquor and the potassium dihydrogen phosphate product can be recovered in a commercially operative process. The mother liquor containing phosphoric acid and potassium dihydrogen phosphate is recycled to the original reaction mixture.</p> |
