The authors have developed and tested a process for phosphoric-acid decomposition of sludges in presence of silicon dioxide, yielding concentrated phosphate fertilizers and fluorine-containing acids. In order to clarify the decomposition mechanism, they studied the solubility of the sludge components in sulfuric acid solutions. Since the main components of sludges are CaF/sub 2/, Ca/sub 3/(PO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, SiO/sub 2/, CaSO/sub 4/, they consider in this paper the interaction of CaF/sub 2/ with phosphoric acid and the influence of the amount and kind of silicon dioxide added on it.
