Beneficiation of apatite rock phosphates by calcination ...
This study investigated the effect of calcination on 6 apatite RPs (Christmas Island Aore, Egypt, Morocco, North Carolina, Queensland, and Sechura). RPs were uncalcined (25 degreesC) and calcined at 500 degreesC, 900 degreesC, and 1100 degreesC. They were evaluated by Xray diffraction (XRD) and BETN2 surface area technique.
