A Comparison of Mills Used for Phosphate Rock Grinding
A brief introduction of 3 common mill types: Ball Mills – a horizontal rotating cylinder containing a charge of steel balls. The balls tumble as the mill turns and material caught between the balls is ground to powder. Table-Roller Mills – a horizontal table rotates with spring-loaded rollers mounted above.

Triple superphosphate (TSP)
Very finely ground phosphate rock (95% to 98% < 100 mesh) is mixed with phosphoric acid. With rock of 34% P 2 O 5 content, about 2.6 kg of acid P 2 O 5 is required per 1 kg of rock P 2 O 5. The phosphoric acid used is merchant-grade acid at 52% P 2 O 5 concentration. This is diluted by scrubber liquid to about 48% P 2 O 5.
Key Considerations about Phosphate Applications in Agriculture
In acid pH soils (generally pH < 6) phosphate interacts with iron and aluminum to produce relatively insoluble oxide compounds. This becomes worse the lower the pH, as root development slows or stops due to the acidity. (For example, acid soils in east Texas may have pH < 5.0). A pH of about 6.5 is best for P availability in soil.
Mining and Beneficiation of Phosphate Ore | IntechOpen
The first commercial production of phosphate rock began in England in 1847. A wide variety of techniques and equipment is used to mine and process phosphate rocks in order to beneficiate low-grade ores and remove impurities. The eighth chapter of this book deals with mining and beneficiation of phosphate ore. The principle and …
The Dihydrate Process
The choices in rock grinding are dry grinding, wet grinding, or no grinding. Several processes claim the ability to use rock without grinding if it is finer than 35-mesh or in some cases 20-mesh (Tyler) screen size (approximately equivalent to the standard 425 and 850 mm sizes. Most of the older plants and some of the new ones use dry grinding.

Phosphate rock normally is used as a dry rock or in slurry form. However, in some cases, particularly where the raw phosphate is high in carbonaceous matter or it is desirable to have a clean acid, the rock is calcined. Also, in a few cases, the phosphate rock is calcined, the product slaked, and free lime separated as a beneficiation step.
