Phosphate ore in Zhijin, Guizhou province can revolutionize REE phosphate fertilizer production!
The researchers investigated using phosphate ore from Zhijin, Guizhou to make REE phosphate fertilizer without adding extra REE. The ore has enough REE but is hard to process. They found that the ore meets the requirements for making low-REE fertilizer, with low radioactivity and the right composition. This shows that the ore can be used directly to produce REE phosphate fertilizer.
