魁北克省萨格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年9月6日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，Central Prayon工艺已成功地将本公司的磷灰石精矿转化为高质量的商品级磷酸（“MGA”）。
正如本公司之前在2023年6月19日宣布的那样，SGS Québec的First Phosphate试验工厂设施生产了900公斤磷灰石精矿样品，并将其送往比利时Prayon Technologies SA（“Prayon”）的设施，以测试其是否适合生产电池级纯磷酸（“PPA”）。
Prayon已开始通过对First Phosphate的精矿进行试点测试，评估产品质量和工艺可行性，以确定MGA生产的最佳工艺参数。
关于MGA生产试点测试的第一份初步报告已经完成。预计将按计划于2023年第四季度提交最终报告，其中包括对MGA生产测试的补充意见以及通过膜净化（下一步）进行PPA生产测试的详细信息。
