Abstract

Read online

The establishment of phosphate fertilizers and the phosphoric acid industries are expected in Saudi Arabia in the near future. This is an attempt to review the processes involved in the phosphate rock beneficiation. Existing processes are compared and contrasted, and the areas which need more study for better understanding are indicated.
