Pilot Production of Purified Phosphoric Acid Completed with Travertine Technologies
World Fertilizer Magazine
Arianne Phosphate provided samples of its phosphate concentrate to be processed at Travertine’s facility in Boulder, Colorado, US. Pilot scale testing was successfully performed, demonstrating proof of concept on the process and production of a high-quality PPA. Furthermore, Travertine has demonstrated that over 95% of the sulfur used in the process of making PPA can be recaptured and recycled, providing a virtually closed loop system. The PPA produced using the process met specifications required for LFP batteries as well as fertilizers. The companies have begun work to advance the PPA demonstration plant in Quebec’s Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, working with potential partners as well as end-users of the product.
