Introduction

 Phosphates are an integral part of the agricultural industry, with increasing population and food demand phosphate production must respond accordingly. However mining of high grade phosphate ores is becoming less common and processing of phosphate ores to produce saleable concentrates is becoming increasingly more important and complex.

The Phosphate Processing Course is a one day course designed to cover the history and future of phosphate demands and uses, the geology and mineralogy of phosphates deposits, beneficiation of phosphate ores, downstream phosphate processing and knowledge of current major phosphate operations.
