I. INTRODUCTION
Stack emission tests were conducted, and related process
samples were taken during the period February 28 to March 1,
1972, at the international Mineral and Chemical Company's
superphosphoric acid plant in Bartow, Florida.
According to the terms of PEDCo's contract with EPA,
only stack gas measurements, selected feed and product
samples, and scrubber water samples were to be taken by PEDCo,
Stack gas samples were taken at points designated by EPA.
All process data and operating procedures were obtained by
EPA personnel. Sample analyses and emission calculations
were also to be performed by EPA staff.
Three tests were made to determine total fluoride
emissions before and after the scrubber serving the super-
phosphoric acid plant. In this process, fumes from the
plant's acid recycle tank, and the vent serving the product
storage tank and barometric seal tank are directed into a
combination venturi scrubber and packed bed scrubber in
series before entering the atmosphere. Samples were taken
simultaneously in the two lines entering the scrubber system,
and in the single duct leaving the scrubber. Figure 1 shows
the equipment layout and the locations of the sampling sites.

-------
Three sets of samples were taken to determine total fluoride
content of the gas streams. Moisture, carbon dioxide, and
oxygen contents of the gas streams were also measured; velocity,
temperature and total gas flow were determined for each test.
Samples of feed, product, and recycle acid were taken during
each run, as well as scrubber water samples. Each stack gas
sample extended over a two hour period.
-------
II. SUMMARY OF RESULTS
During the first two runs, the plant was operating under
normal process conditions. However, during the third test
some puffing of gases was noticed at the inlet ducts and the
flow rates were slightly lower indicating that the scrubber
could have been partially plugged up.
Tests on the vent leading to the scrubber from the
recycle acid tank were characterized by extremely high fluoride
concentrations. This high concentration of what was apparently
silicon tetrafluoride caused plugging problems in the sampling
train. In addition, reactions between HF, SiF. , and H_0
in the impinger depleted the water in the impingers, formed a
white precipitate, and caused a reduced fluoride collection
efficiency for this train.
A fume was exiting from the sample train pump. For this
reason fluoride concentrations reported for the recycle tank
inlet to the scrubber are probably lower than the true values.
Total measured vent gas flows were greater on the scrubber
outlet as compared to the two inlet lines. This is partly due
to the leaks around the scrubber which caused ambient air to
leak into the scrubber and connecting duct work.
A complete summary of stack gas conditions and emission
levels for each test run are given in Tables 1-3.

III. SAMPLING PROCEDURES
A
All gas streams were sampled isokinetically by using
a modified EPA particulate sampling train and following
the sampling procedures described in Method 5 of the Federal
Register of December 23, 1971. The sampling train as shown
in Figure 2 consisted of a stainless steel button-hook
nozzle, a heated Pyrex glass probe contained in a steel
sheath, a Greenburg-Smith impinger without a tip, a second
impinger with a tip, a third impinger without a tip, an
80 millimeter Whatman No. 1 paper filter, and a final
impinger containing approximately 200 grams of indicating
type silica gel. The first and second impingers contained
100 ml each of distilled water at the beginning of each
test. The third impinger was initially dry. All impingers
were contained in an ice-water bath and the temperature of
the gases leaving the fourth impinger was in the 65 to 70°F
range. The filter was not heated. An air tight vacuum
pump, dry gas meter, orifice, and associated valves, connectors,
thermometers, and manometers completed the train.
Due to the high fluoride content of the gases from the
acid recycle tank, the train used here was further modified
during the last two runs by adding another straight tip
impinger before the filter and adding 50 ml. of water to
this impinger.

FIGURE 2. SAMPLING TRAIN USED TO DETERMINE
FLUORIDE CONCENTRATIONS
-------
A type 'S1 pitot tube was attached to the probe to
measure the velocity head of the stack gas. The sampling
rate was continually adjusted to maintain isokinetic sampl-
ing rates by means of a nomograph which related the pressure
drop across the orifice after the meter with the velocity
head measured by the pitot tube. Stack gas temperatures
were measured with long stem dial thermometers.
In a typical run to determine fluoride concentrations,
the train was assembled and checked for leaks by plugging
the first impinger and drawing a vacuum of 15" Hg. The
probe and nozzle assembly was then attached to the impinger
and the train positioned at the first sampling point. Each
point along the stack diameter was sampled for ten minutes.
• - - /-T •
A two hour sampling period was used, except at the inlet
site from the recycle tank where a 60 minute sampling period
was used because of heavy fluoride concentrations. This period
was extended over a two hour period by running the train in
15 minute on-off cycles. At each point the velocity head,
stack gas temperature, final impinger temperature, meter
temperatures, meter reading, and pump suction pressure drop
were measured and recorded. All data sheets for these tests
are attached in Part B of the Appendix.
10
-------
Upon completion of sampling, the train was completely
disassembled, the condensate volume measured, and the
silica gel weighed on a triple beam balance at the site.
The water in the impingers was poured into plastic (Nalgene)
wide mouth bottles. The paper filter and all washings from
the probe and all glassware were also placed in this same
container. When necessary the probe was also brushed to
remove solid matter. All train components were then dried
with acetone and the train reassembled for the next run.
Each container was immediately labeled. Much of the white
precipitate in the inlet train on the recycle tank line
could not be removed from the_inside__ of;„ _thei irnpj.nger
stems.
Feed, product, and scrubber water samples were also
placed in plastic bottles and labeled. All samples were
submitted to Mr. J. Rom of EPA for future analysis.
Moisture content of the gas stream was determined by
making a preliminary run with this same train without a
filter. This was accomplished by running the train at a
sampling rate of approximately 0.75 cfm for 30 minutes and
measuring the moisture condensed and the weight gain of the
silica gel.
11
-------
Carbon dioxide and oxygen content of the gas stream
were measured with a standard Orsat apparatus by drawing
samples from the stack directly into the Orsat apparatus
through a one-quarter inch diameter stainless steel probe.
The probe was carefully purged with stack gas before taking
the sample. This procedure was deemed sufficiently accurate
to determine the molecular weight of the stack gases.
12
-------
IV. ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
Water soluble fluorides were determined by a sulfuric
acid distillation followed by the SPADNS - Zirconium Lake
Method. Water insoluble fluorides were first fused with
NaOH followed by a sulfuric acid distillation then by the
SPADNS - Zirconium Lake Method.
P-O- analysis of the stack effluent was done by the
Molybdovanadophosphate Colorimetric Method.
For more details of exact methods used, see Appendix,
Part C.

"' R* Neul'icht, EMB, IRL !
This memorandum is in response to your request for a brief
summary of our SPADNS-Zirconium Lake procedure for determination
of fluoride in stack emission samples.
Samples received in our laboratory are filtered through
fluoride free paper filters to yield water soluble and water insoluble
portions. The water insoluble particulate collected on the filter
is rinsed throughly to be sure that all water soluble fluoride is
rinsed through. The water soluble fraction is distilled from sul-
furic acid to a maximum temperature of 180 C. If chloride is suspected
in the sample Ag So is added to the still. . SPADNS solution is added
to an aliquot of the distillate and the absorbance is read at 570 nm.
The concentration of the sample is determined from a calibration curve
prepared from standard fluoride solutions. It is very inroortant that
the temperature of the samples be the same as that of the standards
when absorbances are recorded. I
The water insoluble fraction of the sample is evaporated to dry-
ness in the presence or a siurry ox ^^0, cuiu Uien luo^J "wlLli IT^CII. The
fusate is dissolved with distilled water, neutralized with dilute H So ,
distilled and analyzed as described for the soluble portion.
Paper filters containing particulate are cut into small pieces,
suspended in a slurry of CAO, evaporated to dryness and ashed prior
to the alkali fusion and distillation.
If you have any questions about this procedure, let me know.

Phosphorus Pentoxide Determination
Colorimetric Molybdovanadophosphate Method
An aliquot of sample is hydrolyzed in the presence of
HC1 and HMO., acids by boiling almost to dryness.
The sample is cooled to room temperature, transferred
to a 250 ml. volumetric flask and diluted to volume with
distilled water. A 20 ml. aliquot is transferred to a 100 ml
volumetric flask, 20 ml. of molybdovanadate reagent is added
and the flask is diluted to volume.
The absorbance of the yellow color is determined after
ten minutes at 400 nm. The concentration of phosphorus
pentoxide is determined from a calibration curve prepared
with standard solutions.

Test Log
-------
February 28, 1972
A.M.
9:00-10:00 At request of I.M.C. and C.F. Industries all
members of sampling team attended meeting to
review safety rules at super phosphoric acid
plant. Attendees were PEDCo-Environmental:
R. Gerstle, L. Elfers, R. Amick, J. Geiger,
G. Forte. EPA: J. Rom. I.M.C./C.F. Industries
Bill Harwood, Bob Riddle, Bob Hearon, Richard
Gonzales, Pat Peterson, J. Cox, Gene Lewis.
10:00-11:00 Plant is shutdown today for weekly cleanout.
Therefore look over sampling sites and make
requests for electrical outlets, sampling
platform changes, etc. and make physical
measurements of sites.
12:00 Leave plant.
February 29, 1972
A.M.
7:50 Arrive at plant and begin set up. Two trains
on inlet-one on recycle tank and one on
combined barometric seal tank and product
storage tank. One train on single outlet stack
after scrubber.
-------
9:00 Make Pitot traverses at all sites. Fumes very
bad at all sites due to lack of wind.
10:00-10:30 .Make moisture runs at all three sites. NOTE:
Inlet train on recycle tank vent became coated
with white material after only a few minutes,
but still able to run for 30 minutes @ 0.3
cfm.
11:30 Begin inlet run on barometric seal line.
11:45 Orsat
P.M.
12:00 Begin first test run on recycle tank vent.
Stopped after four minutes to change from 3/8
to 1/4" nozzle and change filter. Filter had
brownish color.
12:12 Begin outlet run.
NOTE: Process somewhat upset during this run
due to hole in barometric condenser seal line.
This was repaired at 1:00 and increased vacuum
in evaporator. Sampling train on recycle tank
vent is emitting a white visible highly irritating
fume - apparently a fluoride. Impingers are
heavily coated with white gelatinous material
which has consumed most of the water in the
train. Glass in train is heavily etched.
-------
1:00 Scrubber inlet water sample pH = 1.0, Temp. 75°F.
Bill Harwood getting product and feed samples.
1:15 Opacity <10%
1:30-2:15 Complete first series of tests.
2:15 I.M.C. started tests using their equipment.
Their train on recycle tank vent also plugged
up. (This was the first time they had sampled
inlet.)
2:30-4:00 Clean-up trains. Inlet train on recycle tank
is very difficult to clean and white material
cannot be completely removed. Use copious
amounts of water to wash out fluorides. Silica
gel bleached white. Decide to make second run
with this train over a one hour period (on
fifteen minutes-off fifteen minutes) and use
four straight tip impingers with 150cc, 150cc,
50cc, and Occ of water before filter and then
silica gel impinger. Use 1/4" nozzle for entire
run.
4:00 Start run No. 2 at all locations. This run
routine except for plugging problems on inlet-
recycle train. This train again completely
coated with white precipitate and is not
collecting all fluorides as evidenced by fume
leaving train's meter.
-------
5:00 Take scrubber water, and product and feed
samples. Opacity = 10-20% somewhat heavier
than this morning.
6:15 Complete test work and begin train cleanup.
7:30 Leave plant
March 1, 1972
A.M.
7:45 Arrive at plant and begin setting up equipment.
Notice that inlet ducts are puffing out gases,
i.e. ducts are under slight positive pressure
and flow is somewhat less than yesterday.
Appears that scrubber is partially plugged up.
9:00 Begin sampling. Use same set-up as second run
yesterday.
9:15 Operator uncovers inlet plate to scrubber and
pokes around inside venturi section to loosen
cake buildup. Uncovered duct for 3-5 minutes.
This appeared to increase vent gas flows for a
while.
9:18 Inlet train at recycle is plugged-washed out
probe and nozzle.
10:00 Orsat
-------
10:30 Scrubber water and process samples taken.
Scrubber outlet water temperature = 84°F
11:15 Complete sampling. Inlet train on recycle line
is again completely filled with white material
and difficult to clean out. Absorption
efficiency of this type of train under these
conditions of high F~*concentration is very
questionable but is certainly well under 90%
after the first 5 or ten minutes of sampling.
In addition much of the precipitate in train
cannot be removed.
11:15-1:00 Clean up trains and pack equipment. Elfers
in lab dividing samples: 1/2 to I MC 1/2 to
EPA.
1:00 Leave plant and go to Farmland Industries.

K\'•':•; .' "im-;:;^; fc-f :•-:*•.•-?*•%.'*'-$
The sampling train used during these tests was apparently
not capable of absorbing high concentrations of fluorides.
This was evident at the inlet sampling site from the recycle
tank line where visible emissions were emitted from the dry gas
meter and the silica gel became very white jLn_cql_6r_ and/jwas '
apparently affected by fluorides passing into this impinger.
We recommend a strong reducing agent such as sodium arsenite
and/or a strong basic solution be used in the impingers whenever
high concentrations of fluorides and free fluorine are suspected
In addition, more liquid should be used in the train and
sampling volumes should be decreased to avoid saturation. As
used in these tests, the collection efficiency of the sampling
train is probably less than 95%. Further studies of sampling
fluorides in percentage quantities appear necessary.
