Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to improve the quality of superphosphate fertilizer resulting from the use of low quality phosphate rock by the use of additives as Illite clay, The use of Glauconite rock (green sand) and illite rock (green clay) in the abu tartur phosphate's region – new valley and mixing it with low quality phosphate rock (22%) for the production of fertilizers with higher quality and rich with the essential elements for plants (N, K) which aren't exist in low quality phosphate rock individually, an industrial sample test had been done and a mixed fertilizer had been produced (Elayte rock and low quality phosphate (22% ) as 1:1).
Keywords:
