phosphate mining industries. Most of the impacts are being reflected in the form of changes to local hydrology, water contamination, water consumption, air pollution and human risk.8,9 Environmental impact of phosphate mining and beneficiation which is directly or indirectly related to water resources is the subject of this review.
Apatite is a mineral that is composed of calcium phosphate, with the chemical formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH,F,Cl). It is a member of the apatite group of minerals, which also includes hydroxylapatite and fluorapatite.Apatite is a relatively common mineral that can occur in a variety of colors, including yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Sedimentary phosphate rocks are characteristically rich in organic matter, and contain sulfides and a high concentration of trace elements, including cadmium (Cd), which is harmful to the human body. The mining of phosphate rock and phosphogypsum at Qingping has expanded the release of Cd into groundwater and farmland soil. To …
Phosphate ores upgraded by flotation are widely used as vital raw materials for the sustainable production of phosphate fertilizers to maintain the food supply. High-grade phosphate reserves become more and more depleted. Low-grade phosphate mining and processing are in the spotlight of the fertilizer industries to cope with the …
Kirovsk Branch of Apatit is a 93-year old mining and processing plant. It was incorporated in 1929 as Trust Apatit to mine the unique apatite-nepheline ore from the Khibiny deposit. This is one of the world's biggest and richest deposits and the main source of phosphate rock in Russia, unique in terms of environmental friendliness and safety.
Apatite is the main source of phosphorous for the making of chemical fertilizers. While apatite is usually recovered from phosphate orebodies as the primary product of a mining exploitation, this paper …
Apatite is slowly soluble in neutral or alkaline waters, and its solubility increases with increasing acidity. It may survive rock weathering to form a phosphate-rich residuum, but it breaks down under prolonged exposure. The PCX content of most river and lake waters ranges from about 0.01
Phosphorus (P) in runoff can pose a water quality risk in phosphate mine reclamation areas. High dissolved P (DP) concentrations (about 0.4–3.0 mg L−1) in runoff from these areas and high equilibrium P concentrations for the soils led us to hypothesize that P release is controlled by dissolution of apatite rather than by desorption …
Apatite in Sri Lanka is mined from Eppawala (Eppawala Rock Phosphate or ERP). The finely ground product is used as a direct application fertilizer for tea, rubber and coconut.
