Production of minerals paste from phosphates sludge

ABSTRACT The most used method for the disposal of phosphates tailings is through of tailing dams conventional. The tailing disposal in the form of mineral paste has advantages compared with the disposal conventional. The objective of this work is the production and characterization of mineral pastes...
