Railway and shipping problems for exports

Phosphoric acid is typically shipped in 10,000 gallon DOT-103 insulated or non-insulated rubber lined tank cars with safety valves. The rails cars themselves are ~ 9′ outside diameter with an overall length of ~45' to 50′, with a 6' x 6' center opening or off-set crash box openings. More...

ESP Enriched superphosphate

Enriched superphosphate (ESP) is a fine quality phosphorus fertilizer launched in the market in recent years. The product is of grey or grey-white powder or granule. Its essential components are soluble mono-calcium phosphate [(H2PO4)2·H2O] and calcium sulfate [Ca SO4·2H2O]. The total P2O5 36-38%; available P2O5 18% to 36%, which is a water soluble phosphate-based fertilizer with high nutrient and good efficiency for improvement of soil conditions. Usage: The enriched superphosphate is suitable for various soils and plants, especially for those in the north of China, which can yield a special effect hard to be achieved by other fertilizers. Therefore, the product is expected to be a preference among various fertilizers to realize high yield, high quality, and high efficiency. The enriched phosphate can be used as base fertilizer, top dressing or raw material of the compound (mixed) fertilizer. Attention should be paid while fertilizing: The same as that of the SSP, however the application rate of the fertilizer can be scaled down according to the content of the total P2O5.... Read more...

Granulated Single Super Phosphate (GSSP)

Granulated Single Super Phosphate (GSSP) Fertilizer industry is the pioneering fertilizer industry in the country and the first GSSP plant is said to have been established by EID Parry in the year 1906. Manufacturing of GSSP is based on perhaps the simplest chemical reaction amongst chemical fertilizer industry. The main raw materials required are rock phosphate and sulphuric acid. GSSP is a straight phosphatic multi-nutrient fertilizer which contains 14.5% water soluble P2O5, 12% sulphur, 21% calcium and some other essential micro nutrients in small proportions. GSSP, which is a poor farmer's fertilizer (price-wise), is an option to optimise the use of phosphatic fertilizers. It also helps to treat sulphur deficiency in soils (40% Indian soil is sulphur deficient) as well for further enhancement of yields at the least cost. In various crops, which require more of sulphur and phosphate like oilseeds, pulses, sugarcane, fruits and vegetables, tea etc, GSSP is an essential fertilizer. ... Read more...

TSP Triple super phosphate

TSP (Triple Super Phosphate) represented as 0-46-0, is normally applied where plants are grown in soils with low or average levels of phosphorus. Its importance can be measured by the fact that in absence or it, the root development is weak, growth is stunted, productivity drops, the leaves or the edges of the leaves turn purple and in plants like tobacco and cotton, the leaves turn an abnormal color of dark green; potato tubers develop brown spots etc. Because it is a fertilizer with slightly acidic composition, its effect is limited in neutral or alkali soils. Because the phosphorus in its composition dissolves easily in water, it shows its effects rapidly. TSP is used as a base fertilizer. If it’s applied too early, the phosphorus in it combines with the lime and other elements in the soil and loses its effectiveness. If it is applied after the planting or seeding, it remains on the surface and has little effect. For these reasons, it should be applied either during or immediately after planting, seeding for maximum effect.... Read more...

Uganda: Take Care With Phosphates Find : Chinese to develop Tororo phosphates 29/5/13 | All Africa

Last week, it was reported that a Chinese firm is going to exploit Uganda's phosphate rock deposits after negotiating a 49 year lease. Guangzhou Dongsong Energy Group intends to set up a fertilizer project. This is good news because the government has been close to desperate in finding someone with the money and expertise needed to mine this important natural element on a large scale. Uganda's phosphate rocks are located in the eastern part of the country, amounting to some 230 million tonnes and covering an area of 26 square kilometres. ... Link to this story.
