Raw Material for Silver Phosphate Production
According to the Silver Phosphate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Silver Phosphate include Sodium Phosphate-Silver Nitrate.
Production Process of Silver Phosphate
The extensive Silver Phosphate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Sodium Phosphate and Silver Nitrate: The production process of Silver Phosphate involves a double displacement reaction. In this process, sodium phosphate is reacted with silver Nitrate. This reaction results in the displacement of silver and sodium ions forming Silver Phosphate as the final product, along with sodium nitrate as a byproduct.
Silver phosphate is a yellow-colored solid compound with the molecular formula Ag3PO4 and a molecular weight of 418.576 g/mol. It is also known as silver orthophosphate or tri-silver phosphate, and it is a crystalline chemical compound with no odor. Its density is 6.38 g/cm3 under normal conditions, and its melting point is measured at approximately 849 °C. The solid is non-flammable in nature and is insoluble in water. However, the compound is moderately soluble in dilute acetic acid and highly soluble in dilute nitric acid, along with ammonium carbonate and ammonia. Also, it is finely soluble in thiosulfates and alkali cyanides as well.
