Sodium Phosphate, Dibasic → Zirconium phosphate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2.8H2O) 36.1 g (0.112 mole) was dissolved in 50 ml of water, and to the resulting solution was added 200 ml of an aqueous solution containing disodium hydrogenphosphate (Na2HPO4) 31.8 g (0.224 mole) to form a white precipitate. The resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. for one hour, and the white precipitate was sufficiently washed with water by a decantation method, filtered, further washed with water, and dried at 120° C. to obtain zirconium phosphate (Zr(HPO4)2) 30.1 g.
