The present invention is generally directed to improved processes for the preparation of various phosphorus oxides and phosphoric acid. Phosphorus oxides prepared in accordance with the present invention include phosphorus (III) oxides (e.g., tetraphosphorus hexaoxide (P.sub.4O.sub.6)). Phosphorus (III) oxides such as P.sub.4O.sub.6 are useful products and are also useful as precursors in preparation of other products, including phosphorous acid (H.sub.3PO.sub.3) and other phosphorus-containing chemicals. Certain aspects of this invention are also directed to using various byproducts formed during P.sub.4O.sub.6 production as precursors for the formation of phosphoric acid (H.sub.3PO.sub.4) and P.sub.2O.sub.5. In particular, the present invention is directed to improved processes for the preparation of phosphorus (III) oxides (e.g., P.sub.4O.sub.6) suitable for use in the preparation of phospho-herbicides such N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate) and precursors thereof (e.g., N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid (PMIDA)). The present invention is thus further directed to preparation of these compounds.

A total heat energy recovery system for furnace-process phosphoric acid is disclosed by the present disclosure, and relates to the technical field of phosphorus chemical industry. The system comprises a phosphorus burning tower, a hydration tower, an absorption tower, a Venturi tube, a demister, an induced draft fan, a deaerator, an economizer, a dilute acid circulating tank, a phosphoric acid pump, and a feedwater pump. In consideration of the whole process system, fresh soft water is deoxidized after being heated by an upper head of the phosphorus burning tower and a gas guide tube, and the deoxidized water is then pumped into the economizer by a high-pressure pump to recover the heat of the hydration tower and then enters a steam pocket of the phosphorus burning tower to generate medium-high pressure steam. Therefore, unified recovery of the heat of a furnace-process phosphoric acid device is achieved, the medium-high pressure steam is generated, the effective energy is improved, a circulating cooling tower of the furnace-process phosphoric acid device is omitted, and the production system is efficient, energy-saving, environment-friendly, and green.
