| Abstract | ||
| In this study, we focus on enhancing the quality of Abu Tartur phosphate ore from the Western Desert of Egypt through physical concentration methods. This involves treating the metal surface by utilizing the surface differences among various metals that are made up of a single raw material, regardless of the type of charge applied to it, or the variations in specific density, magnetic properties, or through electrostatic separation using a variety of techniques and devices. We enhance the upgrading process through multiple stages, including gravimetric separation, hydrolytic separation, and magnetic separation, to achieve optimal results in upgrading. Extensive experimentation and analysis have determined the chemical composition of the phosphate sample using XRD analysis, which reveals the presence of insoluble P2O5, CaO, SiO2, SO2, and Fe2O3, leading to an increase in P2O5 content from 21% to 34%, allowing its application across various fields and industries. | ||
