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
