Crushing, conveying & screening
Efficient size preparation and ore transport are key prerequisites for successful potash and phosphate production. We highlight the range of equipment options.
Phosphates project listing 2022
Fertilizer International presents a global round-up of phosphate rock, phosphoric acid and finished phosphates projects.
Optimising phosphate production
Phosphate manufacturing is being enhanced thanks to process integration, digitalisation and other advances.
Trends in demand for sulphur fertilizers
Sulphur is becoming an increasingly important crop nutrient, due to a combination of lower airborne sulphur emissions, the increasing prevalence of high analysis fertilizers, and higher cropping intensities.
Phosphoric acid co-products
The latest developments in the recovery and commercialisation of fluorosilicic acid, rare earth elements (REEs) and uranium co-products associated with phosphoric acid production.
New North African phosphate plants
As well as Morocco, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia all have major phosphate industries, and all of these countries have plans to expand their capability to extract and process phosphates, though Algeria and Tunisia remain hampered by political instability.
The importance of phosphate milling
A holistic understanding of the phosphate milling process is necessary, says Ian Hancock of Bradley Pulverizer. This ensures maximum plant uptime, the highest process efficiencies, and ultimately guarantees profitability.
Phosphate and potash grinding equipment
The crushing and grinding of mined phosphate rock and potash ore is a vital preparatory step for subsequent beneficiation and chemical processing. Although often overlooked, the efficiency of downstream P & K fertilizer production is heavily reliant on successful particle size reduction upstream.
