Process for obtaining phosphorus from aqueous suspension of phosphorus slime

摘要

A process for obtaining phosphorus from an aqueous suspension of a phosphorus slime comprising subjecting the aqueous suspension to at least one electric discharge of an energy of from 20 to 180 J as calculated per kg of the phosphorus slime in a DC electric field, or the aqueous suspension of the phosphorus slime is subjected to the effect of an AC electric field with a power of 85-250 W. The process is conducted at a temperature not below the melting point of phosphorus.
