Abstract:The mechano-chemical effect of phosphorite was researched in the wet ultrafine grinding system. It was analyzed by characterization of particle size, specific surface area, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and element release at different grinding time were studied. Results indicate that wet grinding could reduce the particle size, increase the specific surface area, improve the surface area and increase the structural lattice disorder with increasing milling time. These changes contribute to dissolution of phosphorous, calcium and magnesium from phosphorite. The largest release amount of phosphorous, calcium and magnesium respectively reached 28.51g/kg, 24.65 g/kg and 10.04 g/kg during grinding for 25 h.
