魁北克省薩格奈–(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工藝已成功地將本公司的磷灰石精礦轉化為高質量的商品級磷酸（“MGA”）。
正如本公司之前在2023年6月19日宣布的那樣，SGS Québec的First Phosphate試驗工廠設施生產了900公斤磷灰石精礦樣品，並將其送往比利時Prayon Technologies SA（“Prayon”）的設施，以測試其是否適合生產電池級純磷酸（“PPA”）。
Prayon已開始通過對First Phosphate的精礦進行試點測試，評估產品質量和工藝可行性，以確定MGA生產的最佳工藝參數。
關於MGA生產試點測試的第一份初步報告已經完成。預計將按計劃於2023年第四季度提交最終報告，其中包括對MGA生產測試的補充意見以及通過膜淨化（下一步）進行PPA生產測試的詳細信息。
