A method of preparing a phosphoric acid salt which includes at least one attack on phosphate ore by an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, with the formation of an attack liquor, a first separation, in the attack liquor, between an insoluble solid phase and an aqueous phase, a neutralization of the separated aqueous phase by the addition of a calcium compound in order to form, with phosphate ions contained in this aqueous phase, a calcium phosphate insoluble in water, which precipitates, and a second separation, in the neutralized aqueous phase, between a liquid phase and a precipitated solid phase based on the calcium phosphate insoluble in water, wherein the attack on the phosphate ore includes dissolving the phosphate in the ore, the attack liquor containing this phosphate in the form of phosphate ions, and the solid phase separated from the attack liquor contains impurities and the aqueous phase separated from the attack liquor contains the phosphate ions thereof, chloride ions and calcium ions, this aqueous phase being subjected to the neutralization and second-separation steps.
