Chemical Processing of Phosphate
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.

Phosphate Rock in Utah
A 10-inch, 96-mile pipeline was being built to transport the concentrate from Vernal to Rock Springs. In 1993, the Vernal phosphate rock concentrator was located in the Uinta Mountains near Vernal, Utah. Ore was sedimentary rock from the Phosphoria Formation. Truck and shovel mining was done at a rate of 11,500 tons per day.

Mining and Beneficiation of Phosphate Ore | IntechOpen
The treatment of phosphate rock and end-product [8]. The phosphate rock concentrate must meet the following conditions to be salable : High P 2 O 5 content (>30%); Low CaO/P 2 O 5 ratio (<1.6); Low MgO content (<1%). As will be mentioned in Section 9.3, the content of P 2 O 5 is usually expressed as bone phosphate of lime.
