Hubei phosphate mineral processing is developing rapidly

Hubei Province has carried out phosphate ore beneficiation work for two years and has achieved remarkable results. At present, it has successfully reconstructed two concentrators, built four concentrators and successfully put into operation. The total ore processing capacity reached 5.35 million tons per year.

According to the Hubei Province Phosphorus Chemical Market Management Office, there are four reasons for the rapid development of phosphate ore processing in Hubei:

The first is to strengthen the management of phosphate rock resources development and utilization. On November 5, 2004, the Hubei Provincial Government promulgated the Interim Measures for the Management of Phosphorus Resources in Hubei Province. The competent department of Phosphorous Chemicals of the province went deep into the development of phosphate ore beneficiation by enterprises, organized enterprises to consult scientific research institutions for mineral processing projects, and invited beneficiation experts to comprehensively Introduce mineral processing technology.

The second is to vigorously promote the “three combinations” of mining, mineral fertilizer and mineralization, and extend the processing chain of phosphate rock products. Before 2004, only one company in Huangmailing achieved integration of mining and mineral resources and mineral fertilizers. After nearly three years of advancement, Yihua, Yangfeng, Dagukou, Xiangyun, Saning, and Dongsheng are all on the path of “three combinations”, which is also the fundamental way to develop mineral processing.

The third is the scarcity of rich mineral resources, forcing companies to take the road to mineral processing. After more than 20 years of exploitation, the rich mineral resources have been continuously reduced. At the same time, the high-speed development of high-concentration phosphate fertilizers in the past two years has also led to a rapid increase in the consumption of high-grade ore. Under the circumstances that the total amount of mining has not increased by a large margin, the supply of high-grade ore concentrate has become increasingly tense and forced to be mined. And processing companies have to consider the use of low-grade phosphate rock concentrate enrichment to increase the level of resources to ensure the degree.

Fourth, the increase in the price of phosphate rock has provided opportunities for the development of mineral processing. Hubei province implemented the quasi-transportation management of phosphate rock products. Through total control, it not only effectively protected the phosphate rock resources, but also objectively promoted the price of phosphate ore to rise substantially. This provided economic benefits for the beneficiation of low-grade phosphate rock. support.
