description of ferro phosphorus
Ferrophosphorus is mainly composed of two elements: phosphorus and iron. Phosphorus is a non-metallic element with the chemical symbol P and atomic number 15. Iron is a transition metal element with the chemical symbol Fe and atomic number 26.
Ferrophosphorus is obtained from phosphorus-making electric furnaces. It is a symbiotic compound containing 20-26% phosphorus and 0.1-6% silicon, which can change the corrosion resistance of steel. Ferrophosphorus is used as an alloying agent in the steelmaking industry and can also produce phosphates.
properties of Ferrophosphorus
Ferrophosphorus appears in gray-black or dark-gray solid form. It has a higher density, has a certain sense of weight, and is not easy to volatilize and dissolve in water at room temperature.
Ferrophosphorus can react chemically with elements such as oxygen and sulfur and can form alloys with other metals under certain conditions.

Use of Ferrophosphorus
Ferrophosphorus reacted with sulfur or pyrite, is used for the production of phosphorus pentasulfide.
Ferrophosphorus can be added to cast iron, where the phosphorus improves fluidity and therefore quality of the castings, which can increase wear resistance and cutability. In steel, its addition to some alloys can improve corrosion resistance.
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.
