oxidation of PH3 to P
Hiho,
Its maybe a stupid question, but, will it be possible to oxidize PH3 to white P with Fe(III)-salts? (potential of PH3-->P + 3H+ + 3 e- = -0,06V //
Fe3+ + 3 e- <--> Fe = -0,04V)
thx&greetz

You need to consider Fe3+ + e- --> Fe2+ Eo= 0.74V
It will probably oxidize it all the way to phosphoric acid. Not best to do it in water.

I mention in the phosphorous thread, IIRC, that running phosphine through nickel <sup>2+</sup> salts leads to a nickel/phosphorus mixture
that may prove separateable (details were sparse as I remember) check through the thread for the exact quotation.

Run the gas thru a tube heated up to 700-800ºC.
PH3 liberates H2... the reaction is irreversable.
