This highly technological and scientific event aims to honor innovation, technology, trends in upgrading processes of phosphates and derivatives, research and development perspectives for the phosphate sector. SYMPHOS is also an exchange platform for different stakeholders operating in the mining industry, phosphates beneficiation, chemical processing, sulfur and sulfuric acid production, ammonia, fertilizers, biotechnology, phosphate materials, and corrosion protection systems, food safety issues and environmental stakes related to industrial exploitation and development of innovative processes. SYMPHOS 2015 affirms the continuity of the previous two editions (May 2011 and May 2013), a symposium focused on Innovation, Science and Technology. It’s also an event that will open up more on biotechnology, specific fertilizers, fertilizers of the future, and slow & controlled releases. Given the success of the last two editions, the expansion of the SYMPHOS community that continues to grow and the need for Symphos community to discuss new technologies and developed technological innovations, the 3rd International Symposium on Innovation and Technology in the Phosphates Industry will be held on the 18th, 19th and 20th of May 2015 in Marrakesh. OCP GROUP World leader in the phosphates market, OCP is the largest exporter of phosphate and phosphoric acid in the world and a major exporter of phosphate fertilizers. The Group has to its credit a large reserve of phosphates in Morocco, the largest in the world according to USGS. With its industrial and commercial presence across 5 continents, OCP plays a central role in the settlement areas of its mining and processing activities. The Group employs around 20,000 people and generated a turnover of $ 4,9 billion US in 2014. OCP offers one of the widest ranges of phosphate qualities for various uses. With nearly a century of industrial development history and strong positions in the global phosphate market, this duality allows the group to have a unique position and unmatched flexibility to meet the growing demand of food needs. OCP Group acts worldwide for a sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture. It provides farmers with phosphate fertilizers and helps them develop a rational fertilization to protect their soils. As a major player in global agriculture, OCP plays a leading role in the process of improving agricultural productivity in Africa. ABSTRACT COLLECTION SYMPHOS 2015 5 PLENARY SESSIONS SPEAKERS MR.

    Proceedings of The International Conference on Phosphates : Fundamentals, Processes and Technologies October 15-17, 2020 MOHAMMED VI POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHOSPHATES : FUNDAMENTALS, PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES 15 - 17 OCTOBER 2020 1 October 15-17, 2020 Proceedings of The International Conference on Phosphates : Fundamentals, Processes and Technologies PREFACE Phosphorus, naturally present in the earth in the form of phosphate ores, is an essential element for life; its cycle is unique among the major biogeochemical cycles because it does not have a gaseous component. As a result, it doesn’t affect the atmosphere. It is a source of life for living beings: phosphate groups are constituents of bones and DNA. It is present in the various processes of the synthesis of living matter and intervenes as a support for the genetic heritage (nucleic acids) and plays an important role in the synthesis of sugars and proteins (enzymatic reactions). Phosphates are used mainly in agriculture, as fertilizer, to ensure the growth of plants and to enrich fruits and vegetables with sources of phosphorus. They can also bring nitrogen (ammonium phosphate), calcium (calcium phosphates) and aluminum (aluminum phosphate) to the plant. Phosphates are also used in many other special applications including food additives, materials, catalysis and water treatment thanks to research contribution which extends the phosphate applications scope. R&D is essential for the development of countries, companies and communities, but it can only succeed and bear fruit through close collaboration between researchers from different universities and between academic and industrial institutions. This second edition of the International Conference on Phosphates (ICP2), which brought together multidisciplinary scientists and researchers from different countries for the sole purpose of sharing and disseminating scientific and technical knowledge and contributing to the enrichment and progress of knowledge, is a good example of such collaboration.
