phosphate beneficiation methods

Evaluation of Estonian phosphate rock by flotation

The beneficiation methods were very basic, mainly consisting of separation of the raw material into sand and low grade phosphorite rock (19 – 22 wt% P 2 O 5) with high waste rate (Veiderma, 2009, Reinsalu, 2011). Phosphate rock from Ülgase was mainly introduced into the mixture with superphosphate.
