Abstract

The Moroccan phosphate industry is heavily reliant on imported raw materials, leading to significant environmental impacts and economic inefficiencies. A combination of laboratory-scale experiments and process modelling will be employed to evaluate the effectiveness of different chemical treatments for phosphate extraction and purification. Initial laboratory tests indicate a 15% increase in recoverable phosphate content when using a novel acid leaching method compared to traditional processes. The proposed chemical engineering approaches show promise for improving Morocco’s local phosphate resource utilization, with the potential to reduce reliance on imported raw materials and decrease environmental footprints. Further research should focus on pilot-scale testing of these methods in Moroccan industrial settings to validate their feasibility and economic viability.
