Rock Phosphate

More than 80% of the rock phosphate produced worldwide is used to produce fertilizers and animal feed supplements. It is necessary to explain that the concentration of P2O5 in phosphate rocks that are suitable for chemical fertilizer production should be at least 28%. The concentration of this substance in high-quality rocks is 30% or more. Along with the P2O5 percentage, high-quality rocks should have a possible acceptance of calcium carbonate (about 5) and less than 4% of Iron and aluminum oxide.

In addition to Phosphorus for fertilizers and food supplements’ production usage, this vital element has applications in food preservatives, in metallurgy, water treatment, ceramics, detergents, cosmetics, anti-corrosion materials, drugs, insecticides, and fungicides.

In this article, we have discussed 3 important applications of phosphate rock.
