This work aims to determine the rheological properties of the industrial phosphoric acid slurry and its behavior under the operating conditions of the phosphoric acid production process. For that, several experimental tests on the slurry were carried out, using a Rheometer (Anton Paar), which testing the effect of temperature and solid content. The results show that, for a fixed solids rate, the viscosity of the slurry decreases with temperatures from 75°C to 82°C and increases for temperatures above 82°C considered as the maximum temperature required by the process. This phenomenon is due to the morphological change of the gypsum which corresponds to the range of calcium sulfate hemihydrate formation. For a fixed temperature, the viscosity increases with increasing slurry solid content (31 % to 37 %). The viscosity increases with the shear gradient. Increasing the solid charge in the slurry increases its resistance to flow and movement. Thus, the slurry has a higher tendency to settle. A comparative study of four rheological models, Casson, Bingham, Ostwald and Herschel-Buckley, led to the selection of the Herschel-Bulkley model. This predicts the behavior of the phosphate slurry with a correlation coefficient of 99,9 % and a MAE less than 4 %. Overall, the results show that the threshold flow of the slurry is negligible, and its behavior is nonlinear. Thus, the slurry is a non-Newtonian fluid, with a dilatant rheological behavior. The various tests carried out enabled us to measure the viscosity of the phosphoric acid suspension for different solids contents and at different temperatures. The results obtained enabled us to study the rheological behavior and develop an artificial neural network model to control the viscosity of the slurry at the phosphoric acid attack tank
