The present paper deals with the treatment of phosphate obtained from a commercial sample Akashat ore in hydrochloric acid. factors studied are effects temperature dissolution, acid concentration, and time required for mixing phases. experiments were performed 100 kg/m3 solid/liquid ratio, size particles ranged 125-140 μm, initial concentrations 20, 30 40 wt% HCl, dissolution was kept constant at 30, 40, 50, 60 70 oC. results indicated that percentage P2O5 increases as HCl concentration increased using different temperatures. Also, showed best conditions recovery process according 40%, reaction 90 min,
