3 Carbonates, Nitrates, Borates There are 70 carbonate minerals, over 60 borates and a few nitrates All 3 types of minerals involve planar anion groups. with the exception of BO 4 4- which is tetrahedral Oxygen atoms are strongly covalently bonded in the anion (especially in CO 3 2- ), but bonding between the anion and the cation is ionic

27 Phosphate Economics Phosphate Rock (World Data) in 1000s of tons
28 Phosphate Chemistry Phosphorite is a sedimentary (biogenic) rock consisting of collophane, cryptocrystalline masses of apatite group minerals: Fluorapatite Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F Hydroxyapatite Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 OH Chlorapatite Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl Bromapatite Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Br Florida is a major producer of PO 4 3-
29 Phosphate Chemistry Phosphorite is a common marine deposit... e.g., Florida during the Miocene Phosphate Hardground
30 Phosphate Chemistry But thick deposits are kind of rare and require sea level change: Upwelling brings nutrient laden water onto the shelf slow sedimentation restricts input of other materials (sea level rise induced hiatus?) sea level fall removes CO 3 2- and organic material nodular phosphate
31 Phosphate Chemistry Other types of phosphate/phosphorite formation: Bone beds Guano ( Island Deposits ) BIFs (Australia) Igneous (alkaline intrusions +/- carbonate)
