Phosphate. Phosphate rock is a general term referring to rock with high concentrations of phosphate minerals, most commonly those of the apatite family with the general formula Ca 5 (PO 4 CO 3) 3 (F,OH,Cl).

Phosphate rocks, also referred to as phosphorites, are sedimentary deposits with high phosphorus (P) concentrations. These rocks are one of the primary ore sources for P (Fig. 1), which in turn is a critical and non-renewable element for fertilizer production, upon which global fertility depends.The startling limitation of phosphate rock reserves has led …
