Phosphorus and Phosphates | SpringerLink
Phosphate rock normally is used as a dry rock or in slurry form. However, in some cases, particularly where the raw phosphate is high in carbonaceous matter or it is desirable to have a clean acid, the rock is calcined. Also, in a few cases, the phosphate rock is calcined, the product slaked, and free lime separated as a beneficiation step.

Chemical Processing of Phosphate
Chemical Processing of Phosphate. The phosphate mineral as it exists in the ground is not soluble and is hard for the plant to access. To provide the plant with the phosphate it needs, in a form it can take up through its roots, the phosphate rock is converted to phosphoric acid. It is that acid that is used to make fertilizer.
