Organophosphates have long been used in the field of extractive metallurgy to liberate valuable rare earth metals from their ores.

They typically contain 70.5 parts of saltpeter and 29.5 parts of charcoal. [64] Like black powder, they were produced in different grain sizes. In the United Kingdom, the finest grain was known as sulfur-free mealed powder (SMP). Coarser grains were numbered as sulfur-free gunpowder (SFG n): 'SFG 12', 'SFG 20', 'SFG 40' and 'SFG 90', for ...
