Phosphate rock (PR) has several environmental effects. The mining and processing of phosphate rock can lead to water pollution, air pollution, and impacts on human health [2].Leaching or runoff losses from PR products like phosphate fertilizers can cause eutrophication of surface waters [3].PR has low solubility, which limits its availability for soil reactions or plant uptake [3].
