PCT No. PCT/BE84/00008 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 20, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 20, 1984 PCT Filed Mar. 13, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO84/03690 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 27, 1984.The present invention provides a continuous method for preparing phosphoric acid and calcium sulphate by reacting calcium phosphate with a mixture of sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid. Our method uses at least three successive crystallization steps: a first step of reacting the phosphate with the mixture of phosphoric and sulphuric acids and forming a-hemihydrate calcium sulphate, a second step of recrystallizing the a-hemihydrate into dihydrate and a third step of transforming the dehydrated calcium sulfate into a hemihydrate or anhydrite II or a mixture of the two. Where desired recycling of the products from the above steps can be used for increasing the efficiency of the above method.
