Over the years, many different Phosphoric Acid Processes have been developed, some of which have fallen out of<br />

use and others have not yet been fully developed. This paper will present the underlying economics behind several<br />

different routes to phosphoric production. The paper is based on generic processes for each of the routes rather<br />

than processes offered by specific licensors.<br />

The Phosphoric Acid Production Processes that will be analyzed are as follows:<br />

• Dihydrate Process<br />

• Hemihydrate Process<br />

• Hemi-Dihydrate Process<br />

• Di-Hemihydrate Process<br />

• Hemi-Dihydrate Recrystallization Process<br />

• Thermal Process<br />

• Furnace Process<br />

• Nitrophosphate Process<br />

• Hydrochloric Acid Route<br />

The total installed cost of a new facility, cost of raw materials, cost of waste disposal, utilities consumption, and<br />
