In this work, this method is used for the first time to remove the impurities from Tunisian phosphate rock (TPR). This method consists in two steps: the rapid thermal processing by infrared furnace followed by a rapid chemical etching. In order to enhance the efficiency of this process, a porous layer on the surface of grains was grown.

Tunisian phosphate rock. The treated samples were characterized to investigate the variation of physical structure . and chemical composition as compared to the reference phosphate rock. The quantitative analysis of the impurities concentration before and after gettering treatment using energy-dispersive (EDX) reveals a significant reduction of
The Gafsa Basin accounts for over 90 percent of Tunisia's phosphate rock production. Commercial production of phosphate did not exceed 3.5 million tonnes between 2011 and 2022, compared to 8 million tonnes in 2010. The country is looking to double phosphate output to 8 million tonnes by 2024.
Phosphate rock treatments. The phosphate rock sample used in this study comes from the Metlaoui ores located in the south of Tunisia. Only the fraction between 200 and 500 μm was used in this study. This fraction was activated with sodium hydroxide and nitric acid: 50 g of (PR) was added to 200 ml of 1 M NaOH solution and …
Tunisian rock phosphate belongs to the francolite (carbonate-fluorapatite) group. This structure tends to make rock phosphates more reactive when directly applied to soil. Consequently, the apatite of reactive rocks has a greater ability to dissolve in the soil and to release available P to the plants than unreactive rocks. According to ...
Tunisia's phosphate production doubled to 1.3 million tonnes in the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period last year, a senior official in state-run Gafsa Phosphate told Reuters on Sunday.
The installed production capacity of the Tunisian phosphate sector is 8.5 million tons of phosphate rocks and 1.6 million tons of P2O5 per annum. The …
Introduction. One of the major challenges for the phosphate application is the development of process routes to concentrate phosphate ores bearing silicate carbonate gangue [1].Phosphorus (P) is an essential building block for all living organisms [2].Phosphate rock (PR) is a naturally occurring material with high phosphorus (P) …

The bioleaching of Cd from phosphate rock samples from the Kef Eddour deposit was investigated using three bacterial strains isolated from the local phosphate …
E mail: badraoui_b@yahoo.fr; Tel. +(216)98989842 Abstract Tunisian natural phosphate rock from M'dhilla deposits are characterized by different methods. The principal constituent of the phosphate rock sample is the carbonate fluoroapatite phase to which other clay and siliceous mineral; sulfates, carbonates and organic matter are associated.
Samples were collected from the phosphate rock from the Metlaoui-Kef Eddour Center open-pit ores (Gafsa Basin, Tunisia) in January 2018 . The Kef Eddour …
The thermal behavior of Tunisian phosphorite was investigated with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and Raman spectroscopies and DTA-TG measurements. The XRD patterns showed that the chief mineral constituents of calcined samples are calcium oxide and fluorapatite, while those in the raw phosphorite …
