Effect of Basic Process Variables on Phosphate Fertilizer Production

Synthesis and characterization of nano-crystallite triple superphosphate from waste Pila globosa shells for sustainable industrial production

“…The preference growth of the sample was calculated using eqn (11) for TSP. 26 Preference growth; P ¼ Relative intensity of sample À Relative intensity of standard Relative intensity of standard (11) Calculated preference growth of the (010) plane was 1.71 with respect to (021), (À120), and (020) planes while the preference growth of (021) plane against (010), (À120), and (020) planes was À0.50. In a similar fashion, the values calculated for (020) and (À120) planes were 1.06 and À0.58, respectively.…”

“…Usually the conventional industrial process to synthesize superphosphate involves the reaction between rock phosphate and sulfuric acid which requires a fairly long time for the completion of the reaction. 11 Moreover, the purity (∼90%) is also creating problems regarding the application of phosphate-based fertilizer as well as relevant industrial efficiency. 12 Accordingly, alternative sources must be explored in this regard.…”
