The latter is discharged to the main thickener of the plant as slimes. The deslimed product (-2.0+0.08 mm) is then subjected to a second stage of washing in attrition scrubber.
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE BENEFICIATION TRIALS OF THE EGYPTIAN PHOSPHATE ORES
In terms of quality and P2O5 grade, phosphate can be divided into three groups: low - grade ores (12-16% P2O5, intermediate-grade ores (17-25% P2O5) and high-grade ores (26-35% P2O5). Deposits containing of 28-38% P2O5 are considered commercial grade deposits and have high economic value to mine and process [9]. . Keywords
Preparation of Multifunctional Fused Magnesium Phosphate …
These inferior ores with high silicon and magnesium contents are favorable raw materials to produce fused magnesium phosphate fertilizer (FMP) for the crop growth. However, high temperature of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 –SiO 2 –MgO system for the smelting of phosphorite resulted in the energy-extensive consumption.
US4642181A
Accordingly, there has been a need for a process to recover phosphates and reject larger amounts of magnesium during beneficiation of phosphate ores containing magnesium impurities. The need is particularly acute as low-magnesium phosphate ores become unavailable, and high-magnesium phosphate ores must be used increasingly in the future.
