ABSTRACT:
A multi-compartment reaction system for the manufacture of phosphoric acid by the wet process having a recirculation slurry flash cooler. The removal of heat from the reaction system is accomplished by circulating reaction zone slurry through an elevated vacuum flash cooler under the combined effect of differential liquid levels maintained in the system, and the vacuum in the flash cooler. The amount of reaction zone slurry passed to the flash cooler is sufficiently large so that the temperature differential experienced by the slurry is low and crystallization of calcium sulfate from the slurry liquid occurs in a favorable manner. There is also a substantial reduction in the pumping requirements compared with conventional operations in which the slurry is pumped to an elevated flash cooler, even though the large amount of slurry is passed to the flash cooler in accordance with the invention. In the process of the invention, reaction slurry is withdrawn from a reactor compartment in which the liquid level is substantially higher than in the reactor compartment to which the slurry passes from the flash cooler. This differential in liquid levels and the effect of the vacuum in the flash cooler cause reaction slurry to flow through the flash cooler to remove heat of reaction without the necessity of pumping.
