Thomas phosphate (Thomas phosphate)

Japanese: トーマスリン肥(トーマス燐肥) - トーマスりんぴ(英語表記)Thomas phosphate
Thomas phosphate (Thomas phosphate)
A by-product of the Thomas process steelmaking process, also known as Thomas slag (slag). It is used as a phosphate fertilizer. It is a type of fused phosphate fertilizer in the broad sense that it is produced by the melting process. When calcium oxide (CaO) is added to the phosphorus-containing pig iron melt in the Thomas converter and air is blown in, the phosphorus is oxidized to diphosphorus pentoxide (P 2 O 5) , which enters the slag together with the CaO. This is poured out and allowed to solidify by slow cooling, then crushed to produce the finished product. It is a dark brown, heavy, crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and soluble in weak acids.
