A method for the production of phosphoric acid comprising a phosphate ore
attack by a first aqueous chlorohydric acid solution, separation in the
attack liquor between a solid insoluble phase containing impurities and a
separate aqueous phase comprising phosphate ions in a solution, chloride
ions and calcium ions, neutralization of said attack phase separated from
the liquor by adding a calcium compound so that water-insoluble calcium
phosphate can be formed with said phosphate ions, precipitating a
separation in said neutralized aqueous phase comprising chloride ions and
calcium ions in a solution and a solid precipitated phase based on said
water-insoluble calcium phosphate, and solubilization of at least one
part of the precipitated solid phase in a separated manner in a second
aqueous chlorohydric acid solution, with formation of an aqueous solution
containing phosphate ions, chloride ions and calcium ions to be extracted
by an organic extractant in a liquid-liquid-type extraction.
