description of ferro phosphorus
Ferrophosphorus is an alloy of iron and phosphorus. This ferroalloy contains high proportions of Iron Phosphides, Fe₂P, and Fe₃P. Ferrophosphorus is used in many industrial applications, and it is becoming increasingly popular in the manufacture of steel as the addition of it increases the steel's corrosion resistance and strength.
properties of Ferrophosphorus
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15, the atomic weight is 30.97, the outer electronic structure is 3S3P, the density is 1.83g/cm3 (white phosphorus) and 2.2g/cm3 (red phosphorus), the melting point is 44°C, and the boiling point is 257°C. There are phosphides such as Fe3P, Fe2P, FeP, and FeP2. The melting temperature range of iron containing 18% to 25% phosphorus is 1100~1250℃, and the density is 5.8~6.5g/cm3.

Use of Ferrophosphorus
Ferrophosphorus reacted with sulfur or pyrite, is used for the production of phosphorus pentasulfide.
Ferrophosphorus can be used for the production of lithium iron phosphate, necessary as electrode material for LiFePO4 batteries.
Ferrophosphorus can be used instead of zinc powder in some paints and coatings. It has good adhesion, anti-corrosive properties, electrical and thermal conductivity, and wear resistance.
Ferrophosphorus can be used as a reducing agent to produce sodium or potassium from sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate.
manufacture of Ferrophosphorus
Ferrophosphorus is produced by reducing apatite with carbon at high temperatures. Silica is added to form calcium silicate. Add steel scraps and restore the original apatite. Silica is added to form calcium silicate. Add steel scraps and reduced phosphorus to generate Fe2P.
