Abstract

Phosphate ore was decomposed by using thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). The TG-DSC curves contained different sizes and heating rates. The results showed that phosphate ore had four weight loss stages at the range of 40 ~ 1100°C. With the particle size decreasing, the third weight loss stage became more obvious in TG curves and the endothermic peak became sharper in DSC curve ; the starting and ending temperature of thermal decomposition process moved to higher,the weight loss rate also tended to increase; the activation energy of phosphate ore endothermic decomposition process was calculated by Owaza method in 600~800°C, the average activation energy was 202.80 kJ / mol. It provided a basis for the utilizing of phosphate ore.
