As important controlling factors for the synthesis of iron phosphate materials by liquid-phase precipitation, the solubilities of iron phosphate dihydrate were systematically measured at H3PO4 concentrations from 1.13 wt% to 10.7 wt%, temperature from 298.15 to 363.15 K, and atmosphere pressure in this work. The solubility was found to increase 5 orders of magnitude or more with increasing the concentration of phosphoric acid, and decrease 1 to 2 orders of magnitude with increasing the equilibrium temperature. The phosphoric acid addition and temperature were found to affect the solubility of iron phosphate dihydrate by the formation or dissociation of coordination species, which could further accelerate the phase transformation from the amorphous iron phosphate dihydrate to orthorhombic iron phosphate dehydrate by dissolution-recrystallization mechanism. The high dependences of the solubility of iron phosphate materials on H3PO4 concentration and temperature were also well predicted by calibration equations, which are meaningful for quantitatively understanding the precipitation process and sequential crystalline structure transformation and pursuing a rational strategy for synthesizing specific iron phosphate materials.
