| Abstract: |
Phosphate rock, containing appreciable quantities of organic impurities, is thermally treated under controlled conditions to fully utilize the fuel values of the organic matter contained therein. This process is beneficial for treating deposits of unaltered Idaho rock containing both higher grade phosphate rock and lower grade phosphatic shales and recovering therefrom substantially all the phosphate values as a rock product rendered more acceptable for acidulation to wet-process phosphoric acid. |
