Phosphorites in Ukraine

Deposits of granular phosphorites have been discovered in Ukraine (Novopoltava deposit - loose ores, Donetsk Basin and Polissia - granular phosphorites, Volyn - lignite ores).

Recently, the amount of phosphorus fertilizers used in agriculture is only one-sixth of the amount needed to ensure high yields of agricultural crops.

Due to the low assimilation of phosphorus by plants (only a few percent) when using traditional phosphate mineral fertilizers, to achieve ecological and rational complex processing of phosphorus-containing minerals, it is necessary to implement the technology of production of phosphorus mineral fertilizers, which involves the use of sulfuric acid.

This approach makes it possible to carry out industrial development of numerous small phosphorite deposits and makes them attractive for investors.

In order to increase the mineral and raw material base of phosphorites, it is planned to carry out prospecting and evaluation works for igneous and granular phosphorites within the boundaries of the Volyn-Podilsky plate (Volyn and Vinnytsia regions), the Dnipro-Donetsk basin (Sum and Kharkiv regions) and Southern Donbass.
