Processes for phosphorus removal from iron ore

Phosphorus associated with the goethite in high-phosphorus iron ores can be removed to 0.075% P using a heat treatment at 300–350°C for 1 h with 10 wt% NaOH, followed by a water leach.

The phosphorus cycle

Phosphorus is a chemical element found on Earth in numerous compound forms, such as the phosphate ion (PO43-), located in water, soil and sediments. The quantities of phosphorus in soil are generally small, and this often limits plant growth. That is why people often apply phosphate fertilisers on farmland. Animals absorb phosphates by eating plants or plant-eating animals.
