Treatment of secondary phosphate for use in fertilizers

ICL Innovation is seeking cost effective processes to enhance the availability of nutrients in secondary phosphates to plants for integration in fertilizer production lines.

Background

Secondary phosphate is readily available from multiple sources, the main ones being manure & litter, phosphate rich ashes (wood, SSA, meat and bone meal) and Struvite (Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate). Typically the phosphate content ranges between 10-25%. For all these sources to be used as feedstock for fertilizer production the nutrient availability to plants must be considered and in most cases improved. Wishing to contribute to closing the phosphorous cycle, ICL seeks cost effective technologies to integrate these high availability secondary phosphates into its fertilizers production. 

Our criteria

• Nutrients availability
• Cost
• Scale up prospects
• Integration in existing production processes
• Innovation
• IP protection
