Phosphate Rocks | IntechOpen
Apatite [Ca 5 (PO 4,CO 3) 3 (OH,F,Cl)] is the most abundant phosphate mineral, which accounts for more than 95% of all phosphorus in the Earth's crust and is found as an accessory mineral in most rock types 1. A rock may be best defined as any mineral or aggregate of minerals that forms an essential part of the Earth [].Apatite is …Web

Phosphates for Pb immobilization in soils: a review
Melamed et al. ( 2003) reported that when phosphate rock is used to immobilize Pb at pH 8.7, soluble P concentration is low, resulting in a relatively low soil Pb immobilization. However at pH 3.7, phosphate rock dissolves and Pb immobilization is instantaneous, forming a pyromorphite-type material.Web

13.5.7.5 Flotation of Rock Phosphate Ore. Rock phosphate, the primary raw material for fertilizer and phosphoric acid, occurs as high-grade ore (+30% P 2 O 5 ), medium-grade ore (20%–30% P 2 O 5 ), and low-grade ore (15%–20% P 2 O 5 ). The very high-grade ore blends with medium-grade ore for direct sale. The high-grade ore is mined, crushed ...Web

Phosphate Rock
Phosphate Rock. Table of Contents. Apatite, the most abundant crystalline phosphate mineral, is found in igneous rocks and probably is the primary origin of all other phosphates, whether mineral or organic. Its chemical formula may be expressed as Ca5 (Cl,F) (PO4)3. The chlorine may be replaced almost entirely by the fluorine.Web
