ABSTRACT:
Spent activated carbon previously used to remove humate-type organic impurities from an aqueous inorganic acid solution is regenerated by a specific chemical regeneration process. According to this process, the spent carbon is subjected to the following treatments: (1) a first water wash, (2) a caustic wash in which at least 1.5% free caustic is maintained, (3) a warm and preferably hot water wash, and (4) an optional periodic acid wash. The process is particularly applicable to regenerating activated carbon used to remove humates from wet process phosphoric acid.
