Phosphate rock is a finite, nonrenewable resource • Maximum recovery, utilization and recycling of phosphate rock, fertilizers, byproducts and wastes should be emphasized Reserves and resources • Reserves are a dynamic quantity • Resources can become reserves • There is no evidence for a "peak phosphorus" event
rock phosphate can become soluble (and available to plants) either by chemical weathering or through the actions of certain types of plants. The solubility also depends on rock type and the pH of the soil; phosphorus is most soluble when contained in sedimentary rocks as opposed to igneous rock, and when soil pH is between and
Reactive Phosphate Rock Project provided such an opportunity. This paper reports on the effectiveness of a sulfuric PAPR applied in core experiment 2 at field sites in the National Reactive Phosphate Rock Project. The fertiliser was produced by the 50% acidulation of North Carolina phosphate rock (NCPR) with sulfuric acid. Materials and methods

· Brazilian phosphate miner Aguia Resources' (ASX:AGR) soybeans trial suggests its "natural" fertiliser might be able to replace synthetic version.. The company is one of a handful on the ASX developing fertiliser from rock phosphate, an organic farmingfriendly additive which hasn't been as easily absorbed by plants as the chemical alternatives.
Phosphorite, phosphate rock or rock phosphate is a nondetrital sedimentary rock that contains high amounts of phosphate phosphate content of phosphorite (or grade of phosphate rock) varies greatly, from 4% to 20% phosphorus pentoxide (P 2 O 5).Marketed phosphate rock is enriched ("beneficiated") to at least 28%, often more than 30% P 2 O 5.
· Phosphate is a rock composed of Calcium phosphate – the mineral apatite. Calcium fluorapatite is the specific type that makes up vertebrate bones and teeth. Phosphorus is present in all organisms and a critical component of many life sustaining molecules.

· Morocco Phosphate Rock Price is at a current level of, up from last month and up from one year ago. This is a change of % from last month and % from one year ago.
· Phosphate rock of different origin varies widely in composition and contains different quantities of impurities, such as cadmium (IFA 1998). It is have been suggested that the high cadmium content in many phosphate rock deposits in Morocco may provide an incentive for declining demand for Moroccan phosphate rock in the future (De Ridder 2012).
Phosphorus is rarely found in its elemental form (P), and hence often measured by the phosphate mining and fertilizer industry as phosphorus pentoxide (P 2 O 5), which contains 44% P. Phosphate rock is the term for naturallyoccurring phosphorusrich sedimentary or igneous rock, that typically contains around 5–13% P [5,11,12].
13. Rock phosphate 30 – 40 do NA phosphate The phosphate mineral in soil is found to occur as tricalcium phosphate Ca 3 (PO 4) 2 in combination with either CaCO 3, Ca F 2, Ca(OH) 2 or CaCl 2. The primary mineral is called 'apatite' and its massive form is .
· Phosphate rock production and consumption. production of phosphate rock in 2012 was million metric tons, valued at billion. Total world production of phosphate rock in 2012 was 233 million metric tons. China was the leading producer, with 41 percent of world production, followed by the United States, Morocco and Western Sahara.

the standard characterization of phosphate rock products utilized in the project, in particular the mineralogical and crystallographic analyses, physical analyses, chemical composition and solubility in conventional reagents. A total of 28 phosphate rock samples from 15 countries were collected and analyzed in specialized laboratories.
Growing demand for phosphate rock as an animal feed additive is a significant factor driving the phosphate rock market demand, says a new report by the New Yorkbased market intelligence and strategic consulting firm Reports and Data, adding that the global phosphate rock market size is forecast to reach USD Billion by 2027.
Phosphate Rock 101. Phosphate rock is the only significant commercial source of the element phosphorus. It consists of the calcium phosphate mineral apatite together with quartz, calcite, dolomite, clay, and iron oxide as the socalled gangue constituents. Phosphate rock (or phosphorite) refers to phosphate ores that have been commercially mined.
· The method of claim 1 additionally comprising, before step (a), the step of adding sulfuric acid to phosphate rock to form the phosphoric acid. 13. The method of claim 12 in which the carbon reductant has an internal surface area of at least 50 m 2 /g and in which the mixture is heated to a temperature below a slagforming temperature.
· 1475 Phosphate Rock Establishments primarily engaged in mining, milling, drying, calcining, sintering, or otherwise preparing phosphate rock, including apatite. Establishments primarily engaged in the production of phosphoric acid, superphosphates, or other manufactured phosphate compounds or chemicals are classified in Manufacturing, Major Group 28.
Phosphate rock comes from geologic deposits loed around the world. Its main constituent is apatite, a calcium phosphate mineral primarily extracted from sedimentary marine deposits, with a small amount obtained from igneous sources. Most phosphate rock is recovered through surface mining, although some is extracted from underground mines.
