Our monocalcium phosphate (MCP) is produced in Saint-Malo (France), Cartagena (Spain), Gabès (Tunisia) and Prahovo (Serbia) and is available in granules and mini-granules. It combines high phosphorus content with excellent digestibility, especially in poultry and pigs, but also in aqua, reducing the environmental impact of phosphorus emissions.

Rock Phosphate. Phosphorus is an essential element for plant and animal nutrition. Most phosphorus is consumed as a principal component of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers used on food crops throughout the world. Phosphate rock minerals are the only significant global resources of phosphor.

العربية. Phosphate mining has long served as an important component of Tunisia's economy—phosphate rock is used domestically to produce fertilizer and is also a valuable export. But some regions that are richest in phosphate reserves are also some of the most marginalized.

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 ...

Low-grade phosphate rock from Sra Ouertane (Tunisia) was beneficiated using a thermal treatment consisting of calcination, quenching, and disliming. Untreated phosphate rock samples (group 1), calcined phosphate rock samples (group 2), as well as calcined, quenched, and dislimed (group 3) phosphate rock samples, were investigated using inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission …

Olive mill wastewater (OMW), a by-product of the olive-mill industry, is produced in large amounts in Mediterranean countries. The presence of indigenous phosphate deposits in some countries like Tunisia provides an incentive for direct application or local chemical treatment at low cost to improve the solubility of low reactive phosphate rocks (PRs).

homogeneous phosphate. The hydroxyapatite (CaHAp) obtained from the Tunisian Phosphate Rock (TPR) was synthesized by a principle based on the dissolution of TPR in the nitric acid [21]. The dissolution reaction of the TPR is realized by the addition of 20 mL of nitric acid (HNO3, 65%) to 500 mL of distilled water and 30 g of PNT.

Tunisia is the fifth largest exporter of phosphates in the world. Extraction of phosphate is the most important mining sector in the country, boosting the economy through exports by some 45%. The mineral sector as a whole contributes to 3% of the GDP. Iron ore is extracted at the underground mine at Djerissa and also at the open-pits of Tamera ...

Composition of phosphate rock largely depends on its type and origin. Sedimentary rocks contain high concentration of heavy elements: U, Th, REE (rare earth elements), etc. along with environment polluting elements: Cd, As, Sb, V, Cr, Zn, Cu, Ni, etc.The amounts of these hazardous elements vary widely not only among various phosphate rock sources but also even in the same …
