Phosphate Rock
Wet-process sulfuric acid acidulation is the most common technique for treating phosphate rock. Phosphoric acid is produced by the reaction of sulfuric acid with phosphate rock. Phosphoric acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid, is very often further concentrated by evaporating water and formation of superphosphoric acid.

Environmental implications of phosphate-based fertilizer …
Mining of rock phosphate occurs in an open area, and sometimes explosives are used for crushing. Rock phosphate is homogenized before the preparation of SSP, which involves the reaction of rock phosphate with sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive chemical used in the formation of phosphate fertilizers.

How to Use Rock Phosphate Fertilizer In Your Garden
Phosphate rock is a naturally-occurring fertilizer. In most cases, it reacts with sulfuric acid to make phosphoric acid (P2O5) before it can be used. The acid is added to pulverized phosphate rock. This acid is then processed further to create good fertilizers for gardens, trees, flowers, and … See more

2.3 Preparation of oxalic-acid-treated rock phosphate. To prepare oxalic-acid-treated RP, 1 kg LGRP was mixed with 1 L of 0.5 M oxalic acid solution. The mixture was kept for four days at room temperature to react. It was stirred for 5–10 minutes, twice a day. Then, the oxalic-acid-loaded LGRP was dried properly at 85°C, in a hot air oven.
