The present invention concerns a method for recovering phosphorus by thermochemical reaction of a phosphorus-containing material such as an alternative fuel, for example, in the presence of calcium-containing particles in a moving bed reactor and subsequent separation of fines enriched with phosphorus from the moving bed reactor. Furthermore, the present invention concerns the use of a recyclable material obtained by the method as a fertilizer or fertilizer additive.

A new integrated method based on upgrading low-grade calcareous phosphate ore with low CO.sub.2 emissions and low phosphogypsum waste production is disclosed. The method is an alternative integrated method that increases P.sub.2O.sub.5 recovery, reduces costs, minimizes the environmental impact of product phosphogypsum and CO.sub.2, and overcomes limitations due to different impurities that have negatively affected the yield of traditional processes to a wide range of natural phosphate sources.
