phosphateRock

The global dataset on phosphate mining and beneficiation covers worldwide production of phosphate rock (PR) at the level of phosphate mining and beneficiation complex. The objective is to gather complex-specific data on the P content of mined and beneficiated resource and on the recovery rates of beneficiation process. Phosphate mining and beneficiation complex refers to a phosphate ore deposit with adjacent mine(s) and beneficiation plant(s). See Introduction for details.

The “Global dataset on phosphate mining and beneficiation” is structured into 7 csv files:

1. mining_complexes.csv stores the general properties of individual phosphate mining complexes
2. ore.csv stores information on the P2O5 grade of ore
3. PR.csv stores information on the P2O5 grade of PR
4. mineral.csv stores information on the P2O5 grade of mineral
5. recovery_mass.csv stores mass recovery rates
6. recovery_mineral.csv stores mineral recovery rates
7. sources.csv contains description of data sources, including their identifiers, references to source document(s), data relevance, data quality, and details on the performed data collection
