Rock Phosphate

Rock phosphate is a naturally occurring mineral used primarily as a source of phosphorus for agricultural fertilizers. It is a key component in the production of phosphoric acid, which is then used in manufacturing fertilizers, animal feed, and other industrial products.
SKU: RAW-12

Specifications:
 • Chemical Composition:
 • Phosphorus (P2O5): Typically 28% to 40%
 • Calcium (CaO): Contains varying amounts of calcium
 • Fluorine (F): Can be present in trace amounts
 • Impurities: May contain impurities like iron oxide (Fe2O3), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and magnesium oxide (MgO)
 • Form: Solid, typically found in the form of granular or powdery rock
 • Color: Can vary from dark grey, greenish, to brown or black
 • Origin: Extracted from natural deposits of phosphate rock, typically found in sedimentary rocks, and mining regions such as Morocco, the USA, and Russia
 • Grade & Standards:
 • Agricultural grades typically range from 28% to 35% P2O5 content
 • Specific grades may vary depending on regional standards and use, such as feed-grade rock phosphate for animal feed and fertilizer-grade rock phosphate
 • Manufacturing Process:
 • Mining: Extracted through open-pit mining
 • Processing: May be processed into concentrated phosphate (using sulfuric acid) or left as raw rock for direct application
 • Applications:
 • Fertilizers: The most common use for rock phosphate is in the production of phosphate fertilizers, such as superphosphate and triple superphosphate
 • Animal Feed: Used as a phosphorus supplement in animal feed
 • Industrial Uses: Used in manufacturing phosphoric acid, which is further processed into other chemicals, detergents, and food additives
 • Soil Amendment: Can be used directly in agriculture to enrich phosphorus-deficient soils, particularly in organic farming
 • Environmental Uses: Can also play a role in treating wastewater for removing heavy metals and phosphorus
