4. Phosphorus – An Essential Element
Phosphorus (P) is essential for the existence of life and is present in every living cell. As a ‘staple
molecule for life’ it is consumed by plants and animals daily. Rock phosphate contains essential P as a
phosphate compound that is extracted as phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) for commercial applications.
World Phosphate Demand by 2020
Forecast by Region (MT P2O5)
No Substitute
 There are no other substitutes for phosphate. It is
an irreplaceable finite resource
Essential Role in Sustaining Life
 Phosphate is responsible for ATP intracellular
energy transfer - “molecular unit of currency”
 Phosphate make up the backbone of DNA, RNA, &
phospholipids
 Phosphate groups are essential to cellular
communication
 Cell membranes are made of a phosphate group,
glycerol, & two fatty acid chains

Phosphate Food Security
 Modern agriculture is reliant on phosphate derived
fertilisers to sustain 40% of world food production
 To feed a larger and more urban global population,
world food production must increase 70% by 20502

5. Why Fertiliser?
World Fertiliser Facts
NPK – Macro Nutrient Basics
 Global nutrient sales to reach 255m tonnes by 2017
Nitrogen (N) - fulfils plant’s yield potential
 Converted to amino acids as the building block for protein
 Produced from gas, coal & renewable energy
 Fertiliser industry is investing US$150bn between 2012
and 2017 to fulfil global demand
 55 to 85% of all soils are deficient in NPK
Phosphorus (P) - creates plant’s yield potential
 Backbone of DNA & RNA critical throughout plant lifecycle
 Produced from sedimentary deposits rich in phosphate
 The share of phosphate fertilisers based on phosphoric
acid rose from 75% in 2000 to 89% in 2012
 Global demand for phosphoric acid will reach 46.5 million
tonnes by 2017 (39.8m tonnes for fertiliser)
Potassium (K) – controls movement of key inputs
 Increases use of water, protein, nutrients & carbohydrates
 Produced from ash, sedimentary salts & sea water
 In 2015, the global fertiliser market is forecast to have a
value of US$172bn, an increase of 32% since 2010

technology, currently in final validation by
JDCPhosphate
MODELLED PALAEOSURFACE AT WONARAH AT THE
TIME OF PHOSPHATE DEPOSITION, SHOWING
DRILLING AND TENURE
 Feasibility Study (FS) focusing on utilising IHP,
with completion expected H2 2014
 Fully funded for FS through to Financial
Investment Decision (FID)
 Simple open cast mining
 Transport cost sensitivities mitigated by on-site
production of high-value superphosphoric acid
(SPA)
 Lower initial capex requirements utilising IHP
technology
 Plant commissioning expected late 2015 early
2016 once FS completed

10. Wet Acid Process (WAP) vs Improved Hard Process (IHP)
IHP produces higher value SPA off a lower capex base with improved environmental credentials
TRADITIONAL WET ACID PROCESS (WAP)
vs
IMPROVED HARD PROCESS (IHP)
 Mining
 Mining
 Beneficiation to 30% P2O5
 Beneficiation to 15-20% P2O5
 Sulphuric acid introduced to produce phosphoric
acid
 Blended with pet coke and silica
 Filtration to remove phosphogypsum
 Roasting in ported rotary kiln driving off a
phosphorus rich P4O10 gas
 Dilute phosphoric acid passed through
condenser to produce Merchant Grade Acid
(MGA) contained ~54% P2O5
 Hydration process – to produce more
concentrated solution – superphosphoric acid
(SPA) contained ~70% P2O5
 Introduction of ammonia for granulation or
further processing purification to 68% P2O5
 Used directly or blended according to application
 By-product - environmentally challenging
phosphogypsum with no commercial value
 By-product - low environmental impact and inert
J-Rox (spent pellets) used as cement additive or
aggregate
 Landfilled phosphogypsum require management
long after end of plant life
