Valorization of phosphate waste rocks for the production of …

During the extraction of sedimentary phosphates from open pit mines, phosphate waste rock (PhWR) is produced and stored in piles.Nowadays, the building materials industries have experienced a depletion of natural resources of clays and aggregates, and water consumption in the production of conventional materials. This study aims to investigate the …

Sustainable use of phosphorus: A finite resource

Phosphorus is a low-cost commodity. Each person consumes annually about US $6 worth of rock phosphate per year (Scholz and Wellmer, 2013).Given increasing efficiency of mining technology, some of the underground mines which have been closed in the recent decades (e.g., in the 1970s in the Western Phosphate Fields in the U.S.), may economically …

Use of flint from phosphate mine waste rocks as an …

Phosphate occurs as layers in a sedimentary sequence, with an alternation of other low-phosphate-content rock layers called intercalation layers (Fig. 1a). During the extraction of phosphates in an open-pit mine in this case, those intercalation layers are blasted away in order to gain access to the economic ore and then the remains of this ...

11.21 Phosphate Rock Processing

Another control technique for phosphate rock dryers is use of the wet grinding process. In this process, rock is ground in a wet slurry and then added directly to wet process phosphoric acid reactors without drying. A typical 45 Mg/hr (50 ton/hr) calciner will discharge about 13 to …

What Is Rock Phosphate Fertilizer? Uses, Benefits

Rock Phosphate Fertilizer Uses. You should use rock phosphate fertilizers any time you wish to keep calcium levels up, so plants have this critical nutrient that keeps cell walls firm. The phosphorus builds a strong root structure in young plants and helps transfer energy within the plant as it grows.

The Development of a New Phosphogypsum-Based Construction …

The radioactivity of PG (in particular (α)) is due to the radium content resulting from the decomposition of uranium (present in the phosphate ore). To ensure that the use of PG as a construction material does not pose any danger to users, we have chosen the study of the radioactivity of two types of PG (PG from Croatia and PG from Tunisia).
