Review on analytical methods of phosphate ores

The basic condition of the reference on the analysis of phosphate ores at home and abroad was commented.An review was conducted on the literature of the simultaneous analysis of multi-elements in phosphate ore and its main technology and methods(the characteristics,detection capability,precision and accuracy of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry/mass spectrometry technology),and the research progress and application prospect of phosphate ore analysis technology.The result indicated that X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry/mass spectrometry technology was the most effective method for the multi-element analysis of phosphate ore.The former method was mainly used for the determination of major and minor components while the latter one was featured with trace component analysis.Finally,according to the current situation of domestic phosphate ore analysis,the future progress of domestic phosphate analysis technology and the related suggestions were discussed and proposed.
