Abstract

A study and trend analysis is done, in processing technologies phosphate rock in the formulation of fertilizer worldwide, information gathered and consulted from Internet, in sites of specialized databases patent, is performed. The study showed that in processing phosphate rock, the most widespread thematic registered as patents in ascending order are: Improved equipment grinding and classification of phosphorite, phosphorite Flotation, Chemical treatment of phosphorite with different acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, etc.) and phosphate rock in the formulation of fertilizer, the latter turned out to have the largest number of patent publications, with China being the country that public the most (51 patents), followed by Russia with 28 patents.
