Abstract

Morocco is a significant producer of phosphate minerals, which are crucial for agriculture and industrial applications. However, there is potential for optimising local resource utilization through advanced chemical engineering processes. A series of laboratory-scale experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of proposed chemical reactions designed for phosphate mineral processing. The methods employed included batch reactors and process simulation software. Initial results suggest a reduction in waste by approximately 15% through optimised chemical treatments, with improvements in product purity noted across all tested conditions. The preliminary findings indicate that the proposed chemical engineering processes offer promising avenues for enhancing resource utilization in Moroccan phosphate production. Further research is recommended to validate these initial outcomes on an industrial scale. Investigate the long-term sustainability and economic viability of these processes, including cost-benefit analyses and environmental impact assessments.
