Cultivation of 1.5 millions Faddens is one of the major projects for securing food supply to the ever increasing population; therefore, expansion of the fertilizer industry becomes a must. Phosphate ores from New Valley and Nile Valley are chemically processed by sulphuric acid to produce phosphoric acid intermediate by the dihydrate process. Two plants are already in operation at “Abu Zabaal” and “Fayoum” and another two plants are under establishment, one along the Red Sea Coast at El-Sokhna and the other at the “New Valley”. Two major problems are facing the industry, namely, the low filtration rate of the acid from solid gypsum and the second is the high level of impurities which decreases the P2O5 water solubility of the produced fertilizers. The filtration rate has been doubled by utilization of surface active agents (Surfactants) to modify the gypsum crystals. On the other hand, novel technique is being developed to decrease the impurities especially iron from 4% to < 1% leading to increasing the P2O5 water solubility of the produced fertilizer. Further decrease of Fe content of the fertilizer grade acid to < 0.1% is achieved through application of a novel membrane technology. The purified acid could be used for food and pharmaceutical industries, thus the economics of the acid production units greatly improve. The paper reviewed the results obtained so far which will improve significantly the value added products. The effects of the different parameters such as oxalic acid dose, temperature and concentration of phosphoric acid on Fe2O3 removal efficiency have been studied. Increasing the oxalic acid dose up to 7.5 g/100g of 28% P2O5 (80oC, 100 rpm) raised the removal efficiency of Fe2O3 to 90.8%. Increasing the dose of oxalic acid to 10 g/100g led to slight increase in the removal efficiency of Fe2O3 to 91.6%. 1. Central Metallurgical R& D Institute (CMRDI) 2. Cairo University 3.
