Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Low grade phosphate-siliceous slates dump samples (about 11.98% P 2 O 5 ) from Zhanatas deposit, Karatau basin, Kazakhstan were subjected to upgrading in the present study. The suggested upgrading route was to get rid of most of the inorganic carbonates via leaching using organic acids like acetic acid. The effect of leaching temperature, dissolution time, and solid/liquid ratio were studied as the main determental working parameters. It was concluded that a concentrate product containing about 21% P 2 O 5 was produced after leaching with acetic acid at optimum conditions: 30 C 0 , 15 min, and 3:1 liquid/solid ratio. The calculated apparent activation energy of the leaching process showed that the process took place in the intra-diffusion region.
