Resolutely focused on the future, Prayon studied a way of removing cadmium from the acid without the use of any additives.
With a limited number of modifications to your phosphoric acid plant, we can decrease the Cadmium level down to 1 ppm in the concentrated acid enabling to go significantly below the current EU Regulation of 60 mg/kg of P2O5 – that is expected to be revised to 20 mg/kg in the future – for organo-mineral fertilizers.
