Abstract
Phosphate production in Morocco is a significant economic activity that utilizes local resources effectively. A combination of laboratory experiments and pilot plant scale-up studies was employed to optimise the chemical engineering processes. The optimised process produced a phosphoric acid yield that exceeded 90% with minimal byproduct waste. The developed processes show promise for sustainable phosphate production in Morocco, reducing dependency on imported resources and increasing economic viability. Further research should focus on scaling up the pilot plant to industrial scale and investigate potential environmental impacts of the process.
