The reduction in concentration of radionuclides content from PG was based on leaching of 226 Ra, 210 Pb, 238 U and 40 K using tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) and tri-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) in kerosene. The factors which affect the leaching process such as contact time, concentration of the solvent and temperature were optimized.

Abstract. The annual consumption of phosphate rock approached 150 million tons. The marketable phosphate is usually 30% P 2 O 5 or higher. The run-of-mine material is mostly of lower grade which needs processing or upgrading. The processing techniques of phosphate ores depend mostly on the type of associated gangue …
In preferred processes or pulp in accordance with this invention, the ore is a non-metallic ore, more preferably it is a phosphate ore. In an even more preferred process or pulp, the ore is apatite ore. Non-metallic ore is an ore in which less than 5 wt.% Metal components are present from the total ore, preferably less than 1 wt.%
The phosphate ore processing can be divided into three stages: crushing—separation—concentrate dehydration. 1. Ore crushing process includes crushing, screening, grinding and grading processes. Use crushers and ball mills to reduce ore particle size to dissociate phosphorus minerals from impurity mineral monomers.
To process the Lar Mountain phosphate ore, a sample with a weight of 250kg was prepared. Its complete chemical analysis is 10% P 2 O 5, 42.1% CaO, 6.5% SiO 2, 2.4% Al 2 O 3, 3.1% FeO, 2.35% Fe ...
Two-stage magnetic separation process for the upgradation of phosphate ore [45], [192]. Beneficiation of Indian phosphorite (Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan area) was investigated employing a 2-stage HGMS process with a size range of 53 – 63 µm [173]. Magnetite coating on calcite/iron followed by separation using sodium oleate and …
ABSTRACT This work aimed to upgrade a low-grade sedimentary phosphate ore through attrition scrubbing/desliming and an anionic/cationic reverse flotation technique. The mineralogical and chemical examination showed that the sample contained low-grade apatite minerals (P2O5 ~ 22.5%), and the main associated gangue minerals were …
The method of processing phosphate ore, including: a one-step countercurrent process for the decomposition of phosphate ore, characterized by a P 2 O 5 content exceeding 20 wt.%, by treating with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution having an HCl concentration below 10 wt.% to form a treatment solution consisting of an aqueous phase in which ...
A refractory phosphate ore obtained from Guizhou, China, contains high amounts of detrimental metal impurities (e.g., Fe, Al, and Mg) which affect the deep wet processing of phosphorus products before use. In this study, mineralogy parameters of the ore such as mineral composition, disseminated particle size, mineral liberation degree, …

The phosphate processing site dedicated to the present study is situated in Maritime Region, south of Togo (Kpémé, 06° 12′ 53ʺ N, 01° 30′ 40ʺ E). The phosphate ore processing site of Kpémé is very close to the coast which separates the floor from the sea.
Based on the mineralogical, chemical, material composition, as well as technological research on the possibility of processing phosphate ores, it was concluded that the optimal scheme for the …
Chemical Processing of Phosphate. The phosphate mineral as it exists in the ground is not soluble and is hard for the plant to access. To provide the plant with the phosphate it needs, in a form it can take up through its roots, the phosphate rock is converted to phosphoric acid. It is that acid that is used to make fertilizer.
combination of sand, clay, and phosphate rock, and slurry the matrix to be piped to a washer plant for initial sizing. 8.1.2 Phosphate Ore Beneficiation Phosphorus-based materials are used mostly in fertilizers, detergents, foods and beverages and metal treatment coating. Elemental phosphorus is used as a process input to produce a wide …
The phosphorus from phosphate rock is processed in two main pathways: in order to make phosphate-containing fertilizers for global agricultural, most of the phosphate (~95%) is processed by the "wet process," where phosphate is treated with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid.
chemical processing of phosphate ores. The key to understanding the association between environmental pollution and phosphate rocks lies in appreciating the mining and processing effect of phosphate ores. Phosphorus is normally produced by mining and beneficiation of Phosphate ores. 3 Mines produce large amounts of waste …
Introduction Industrial processing of phosphate ore can release significant amounts of radioactivity into the environment due to the high concentrations of uranium series radionuclides in phosphate rock [l]. Due to the potential for enhancement of environmental radioactivity levels, and hence the risk of human exposure [1,2], …
In a novel process, the phosphate ore is treated with HCl with the formation of PA and CaCl 2; the PA is separated by a solvent extraction technology, obtaining a highly concentrated, food grade ...
The FIPR Institute's research in the areas of mining and beneficiation (mineral processing) concentrates on issues pertaining to the mining of phosphate rock and beneficiation of …
Mined phosphate rock is sold to phosphate processing plants that digest the rock using sulfuric acid to make phosphoric acid. The vast majority of phosphoric acid is used in the production of fertilizers to grow the food the world needs; additionally, phosphoric acid is also used as an additive in livestock feed and even in food products.
Large portions of those valuable elements in phosphate ore end up in several phosphate mining and processing tailings, waste streams, or byproducts, …
Before phosphate ore is turned into fertilizer or other products, it is transformed into either phosphoric acid (through a wet process), or elemental phosphorus (through a thermal process). This processing concentrates NORM in the waste products, transforming them into Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive …
