Egypt is rich in phosphate reserves, mining enterprises operating conditions slightly improved

Abu Tartour, located in Egypt's New Valley Governorate, has the world's second largest phosphate mine, with proven reserves of 0.7 billion tons and estimated total reserves of about 100 billion tons. The mine's mining director, Mamdouh Ati, said Abu Tartour had abundant phosphate reserves that, if used properly, would boost Egypt's economy. The total area of the mining area is about 1200 square kilometers, and the current mining area of the Egyptian Phosphate Company is only 122 square kilometers. It is estimated that a profit of $33 million per 0.1 billion tons of phosphate mined.

Use and Addition of Several Food Grade Phosphate

1. sodium tripolyphosphate: application: mainly used as quality improver for canned food, dairy products, fruit juice beverage and soybean milk in food industry; Water retaining agent and tenderizer for meat products such as ham and luncheon meat; In aquatic products processing, it can not only retain water and tenderize, but also expand and bleach. It can soften beans in canned broad beans. It can also be used as softener, chelating agent, PH regulator and thickener in beer industry. Sodium tripolyphosphate is generally added 3-5 ‰ in food processing, and the maximum amount is 3% in aquatic processing.

Large potential market for food grade phosphoric acid and food grade phosphate

Food grade phosphoric acid is an inexpensive sour agent that can replace citric acid for the production of various beverages. According to reports, cola and other beverages are made of dilute phosphoric acid as the main body, supplemented by various flavorings. Food grade phosphoric acid is the basic raw material for the production of food grade phosphate. Starting from food grade phosphoric acid, food grade phosphates of many series and varieties can be produced. Phosphate in food can adjust and improve the structure of food and color, aroma, taste perception

Knowledge of food additive phosphate

In the production process of the meat industry, in order to make the product form complete, good color, tender quality, shiny cut surface, often mixed with some phosphate as a quality improver. It can increase the water retention performance of meat, improve the tenderness and cohesiveness of meat products, and improve the yield.

Development Status of Global Ammonium Polyphosphate and Phosphorus-containing Flame Retardant

In recent years, due to the influence of decabromodiphenyl ether and hexabromocyclododecane being listed as persistent organic pollutants, the development of halogen-based flame retardants has been greatly affected, and the concept of halogen-free flame retardants has emerged. Corresponding to halogen flame retardants, this concept has promoted the development of research and manufacture of many halogen-free flame retardants, including phosphorus-based flame retardants. After 2005, the price of bromine continued to rise, in sharp contrast to the price stability of domestic phosphorus resources, the price gap between the two increased rapidly, and even the price of brominated flame retardants was once more than double the price of most phosphorus flame retardants. Therefore, the increase in the price of brominated flame retardants has promoted the rapid growth of the phosphorus-based or phosphorus-nitrogen-based flame retardants in the market between 2005 and 2012.

Industry Watch. The price of yellow phosphorus rose sharply in the short term due to the regulation of production reduction.

Under the expectation of tightening the double control of energy consumption in Yunnan Province, yellow phosphorus gradually "has a price but no market" this week: according to the dynamic display of a number of commodity information agencies, on September 16, yellow phosphorus in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places will not be quoted for the time being, and only a few areas will actually talk about it.
