Research Report on Phosphorus Ore Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Segments and Forecast 2014 – 2020

Minerals containing phosphorus or phosphorus compounds in high quantity are classified as phosphorous ore. Phosphorus content in the ore differs on the basis of various factors such as geological conditions, processing behavior, etc. Phosphorus ores occur in diverse forms including magmatic deposits, metasomatic deposits, sedimentary rocks, etc. Sedimentary rocks are the most preferred source of phosphorus mainly owing to low energy requirement in processing the rocks. Two major groups of phosphate rock are phosphorite and apatite. Other phosphorus ores include iron phosphates and aluminum phosphates among others. Processing of phosphorus ore is profoundly dependent on the end user industry. Some of the processes employed in the industry include reaction with sulfuric acid and heating among others.
