Abstract
The dissolution of phosphate ore in dilute phosphoric acid solutions was investigated in both the absence and presence of ultrasound. Acid concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time were chosen as parameters. While the conversion fractions decreased with increasing temperature in dilute phosphoric acid in absence of ultrasound, these
rates increased with increasing temperature in the presence of ultrasound. In the experiments, the expected effects of ultrasound were observed, such as decrease in the thickness of the diffusion layer on the solid–liquid interfaces in the suspension, leading to increased surface area.
