Development of ore sorting and its impact on mineral processing
PMWR as a low-grade phosphate ore is characterised by high heterogeneity due to the large particle size distribution. This physical anisotropy of PMWR presents a crucial challenge for upgrading using sorting and further processing methods.

Calcination of phosphate ore is one of the methods of ore processing, i.e., increasing the phosphorus content (P2O5) in the ore. However, this process is very energy-intensive and not economically justified in most cases. It can be improved by using additives to lower the required calcination temperature. In this work, several samples of …Web
