| Abstract | Characterization studies of phosphate rock (PR) samples should provide data on: (i) the composition of the apatite, other phosphate minerals and gangue minerals; (ii) the relative amounts of mineral species present (estimated); and (iii) the particle size of the various minerals in the rock fabric, etc. It is possible to combine this information with a comprehensive chemical analysis to determine the distribution of chemical species among the mineral components. Based on such an evaluation, it is possible to estimate the potential for beneficiation, suggest possible beneficiation routes, and make a preliminary assessment of the suitability of PRs for various fertilizer production processes and/or their applicability for direct application. | |
