How is yellow phosphorus produced

Yellow phosphorus, with the same molecular formula as white phosphorus, molecular formula P4, molecular weight 123.89, yellow and slightly whitish wax-like solid, usually kept in water, is an important chemical raw material.

Yellow phosphorus production:

The production process of yellow phosphorus is relatively simple, phosphorus ore, silica and coke are put into the electric furnace according to a certain ratio and particle size, and the decomposition and reduction reaction occurs under the high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius, and the phosphorus vapor is cooled and rinsed with the furnace dust to get the product, and the high-temperature furnace slag is discharged directly from the electric furnace. 

China's main yellow phosphorus manufacturers: Yunnan South Phosphorus Group, Yunnan Malong Industry Group, Jiangsu Chengxing Group (Yunnan Xuanwei Yellow Phosphorus Plant, Mile Yellow Phosphorus Plant), Hubei Xingfa Group, Sichuan Sichuan Chuantou Chemical Group, Sichuan Jinguang Chemical Industry Company Limited, Guizhou Qianneng Tianhe.
