Machine learning provides solutions to a diverse range of problems in high-dimensional datasets in geosciences. However, machine learning is generally criticized for being an enigmatic black box as it focusses on results but ignores the processes. To address this issue, we used supervised decision boundary maps (SDBM) to visually …
Earlier the original source of phosphorus (P) fertilizer was bones; as time passes, the supply of P fertilizer will get exhausted. Today, rock phosphate is the only raw material in the form of P fertilizers. There are two types of rock phosphates: igneous and sedimentary; both have the same phosphate mineral, i.e., calcium phosphate of apatite …
Apatite is a group name that refers to 17 related minerals. In collectors' usage, the name refers to any of three minerals: fluorapatite [calcium fluorophosphate, Ca 5 (PO 4 )3F, formerly apatite-(CaF)]; chlorapatite [calcium chlorophosphate, Ca 5 (PO 4 )3Cl, formerly apatite-(CaCl)]; and hydroxylapatite [basic calcium phosphate, Ca 5 (PO 4 ...
One outstanding problem that is presented by the apatite-ore bodies concerns the manner in which accumulation of nepheline, apatite and pyroxene occurs in terms of steady-state convection. The …
Biological apatite in enamel, dentin, cementum, and bone is highly individualized hydroxyapatite with high tissue dependency. Often, standard and average textbook values for biological apatite do not apply to actual subjects, and the reported results of analyses differ among investigators. In particular, the term biological apatite is …
As an important strategic non-metallic mineral resource, fluorite has been widely used in various industrial fields, such as metallurgy, optics and semiconductor manufacturing, as well as fluorine-related …
Small-scale mining has been done periodically in recent years at the Western Quarries, including the Pulsifer. While no apatite was found between 1996 and 2022, the Pulsifer Quarry was not entirely unproductive. In 2007, the "Stuck Steel Pocket" was found. It consisted of several large beryl crystals embedded in quartz.
Phosphate rock is an important mineral commodity used in the chemical industry and production of food. The first section of ninth chapter of this book introduces utilization of apatite ores for manufacturing of phosphorus. The second part deals with production of phosphoric acid via wet and thermal process and utilization of byproducts …
The problems related to arsenic pollution in selected countries are summarized below. 4.1. Bangladesh. The arsenic poisoning in groundwater was first reported by the Department of Public Health Engineering from the ... waste dumps, extraction basins, and mines. Mining-related (coal mining) arsenic contamination is …
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 documents the approach taken to produce a phosphate concentrate as a secondary product from the tailings of a niobium ore …
Apatite (U–Th–Sm)/He (AHe) thermochronology is increasingly used for reconstructing geodynamic processes of the upper crust and the surface. Results of AHe thermochronology, however, are often in conflict with apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology, yielding an inverted age-relationship with AHe dates older than AFT …
Dust was a common air quality problem throughout all mining activities; fluoride emissions and radon gas emission were also serious problems. Toxic metals and radioactive elements of significant human health …
SGS reports that the 5-7 weight % REE contained in apatite at H-K is unique, even amongst other igneous deposits mined for phosphate in apatite. Further, the igneous apatite at H-K is pristine ...
Mining activity in the study area can be detected on satellite images mainly in particular location at the eastern cliff of the plateau (Fig. 1) in the early 1990s and mentioned in the previous records (Zidan 1998). However, an apparent increase in mining activity between 2006 and 2010, and between 2013 and 2020, can be inferred as shown in Fig. 6.
Special Issue Information. The study of ore deposits requires, among other things, the characterization of the fluid (s) responsible for mineralization, as well as …
Mount Apatite Park is a 325-acre wooded park located in the western portion of the city. The ... mining and mineral discoveries at Mt. Apatite. Figure 3 Masses of a lilac-colored lithium mica (lepidolite) typically occurred in the vicinity of tourmaline pockets. You may find pieces of this colorful mica on the dumps of the
Physical Healing. From a physical standpoint, the Apatite gemstone will help repair cartilage in your body, and it will also help heal bones in your body, including your teeth. This is a great stone to use if you have joint …
Apatite ore plays a critical and irreplaceable role in fertilizer production and is being upgraded in quality in northern Vietnam. The old tailing of the Bac Nhac Son beneficiation plant (Vietnam) has a significant apatite amount in the form of coarse unliberated particles. These millions of tons of tailing ore have 6–8% of P2O5 content, …
Phosphate ore is an important strategic mineral resource. The efficient utilization of phosphate resources faces challenges such as low grade of raw ore and difficulty in discharging gangue minerals. One of the key problems to be solved urgently in the reverse flotation of phosphate ore is the effective depression of apatite. However, …
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.
Apatite is a member of a group of structurally related minerals having compositions symbolized A5 ( B O 4) 3X, in which A is a metal, commonly calcium or lead; B is phosphorus, vanadium, or arsenic; and X is chlorine, fluorine, or hydroxyl. The group contains three series: the apatite, the pyromorphite, and the svabite (intermediate …

The investigation of various factors effecting the Lead (Pb) diffusion in phosphate minerals such as apatite is still challenging in the interpretation of (U Th)/Pb geochronology. For (U Th)/Pb system, apatite minerals have closure temperatures in the range of 375 to 600 °C and therefore can be used for the investigation of mid-temperature thermochronological …
The apatite group of minerals displays a large solubility range, with calcium-bearing species being more soluble than their lead analogues, as can be seen from the data of Table 1.Many reports of solubility properties of these compounds have appeared in the literature in the past. The data in Table 1 represent a critical compilation that may be …
