Read MoreIn terms of quality and P2O5 grade, phosphate can be divided into three groups: low - grade ores (12-16% P2O5, intermediate-grade ores (17-25% P2O5) and high-grade ores (26-35% P2O5). Deposits containing of 28-38% P2O5 are considered commercial grade deposits and have high economic value to mine and process [9]. .
