Sorption isotherms and calcium phosphate solubility data were used to interpret the processes responsible for sorption of phosphate on three Jurassic oolitic limestones whose surface areas ranged from 1.0 to 1.5 m 2 /g CaCO 3.It was concluded that total sorption was due to (1) an initial chemisorption reaction at final P concentrations below 0.5 μg/ml, with Langmuir …

ferent limestones and dolomites may consist of clastic detritus, clay minerals, iron oxides, manganese oxides, calcium phosphate minerals, calcium sulfate minerals, organic detritus, bitumens, various other organic deriva tives of former plant and animal life, and many other substances. The carbonate-rich rocks therefore are
a pseudo-oolitic or gritty phosphate rock, and coprolitic phosphate rock. Phosphatic clays, marls, and limestones are associated with the mined phosphate rock, but are not considered ore. At the Pallo Mine inSenegal laterization has altered the phosphate rock to a calcium aluminum phosphate (British Sulphur Corporation, 1971).

Primary phosphates commonly occur in ultramafic rocks (i.e., those very low in silica), including carbonatites and nepheline syenites. Metamorphic apatite occurs in calc-silicate rocks and impure limestones. Secondary …
Microstructural studies of limestones by SEM indicate that phosphate occurs as (a) brown infillings in boring/septal cavities of corals, (b) trapped material between algal laminations and (c) cement in pelletal limestones. Phosphate is in the form of ovoids, rods and dumb-bell-shaped apatite microparticles or their coalesced/aggregate forms or ...

Rex chert member, nodular cherty limestone 250 to 300 feet thick, underlain by phosphate shales 65 to 150 feet thick, containing several beds of phosphate rock; fossiliferous.
The phosphate formations of the Upper Cretaceous lie near the surface in the central part of the country, covering a wide belt. The Al-Hassa phosphate deposit is found in two horizons, deposit has a lenticular. ... (AHP). In general, the AHP consists of phosphorites, bedded chert, limestones, oyster buildups, organic-rich marl (oil shale) and ...
Apatite and ferruginous-apatite ooids are also found in the Lower Jurassic cephalopod limestones of Central England (Horton et al., 1980). However, goethite occurs as an iron-rich mineral in these ooids. The formation of phosphate ooids (Horton et al., 1980) connects with replacing primary carbonate (aragonite) ooids.

Limestones enriched in phosphate by the chemical action of ocean waters constitute a principal source of raw materials for the fertilizer industry. When heated to temperatures of 900 to 1,000 °C (1,650 to 1,800 °F), limestones will dissociate calcium carbonate and yield carbon dioxide and lime, the latter having major applications in the ...
Like transgressive limestones, offshore shales also change laterally very little along the entire length of the outcrop.. Those that lose the black facies laterally, generally retain phosphate nodules in the sparsely fossiliferous gray facies (Iola, Stop 3; Stanton, Stops 4B, 10).

Phosphate minerals occur in most members of the Lexington Limestone, principally the Tanglewood, Millersburg, and Grier Limestone, and parts of the Lexington which were …
The failure of a slope in a phosphate mine by shear-sliding along a clay-filled bedding plane in limestone, and by separation across a tension crack at the back, is back-analysed. The failure cannot be explained using laboratory measured values of the shear strength parameters. In order to simulate field conditions better two 'physical models' of the bedding plane were prepared for …
