Abstract
There is disclosed a method of producing water-based phosphate matrix slurries wherein the as-mined phosphate matrix is dried prior to the formation of the slurry. Drying the matrix decreases the viscosity of the slurry and improves the clay consolidation characteristics of the by-product slimes produced during the phosphate slurry beneficiation process steps.
