Decades ago, fluoride used to be released into the air through the smokestacks of phosphate mining operations, but this resulted in the widespread death of cattle and plants on nearby farms and ranches. To stop the deaths, phosphate mining companies installed "wet scrubbers" that captured the toxic fluoride chemical vapors.
DeSoto County took the first step Tuesday night to ban one of the most toxic byproducts of phosphate mining from being built there. County commissioners unanimously moved to ban gypsum stacks. The move comes as the Mosaic Company wants to rezone land to allow phosphate mining in the county's northwest corner, near Hardee and Manatee counties.
Secondary REE sources can be classified into three major categories: (1) secondary mining materials, e.g., U and Fe tailings, bauxite residue, (2) coal and coal combustion products (ash), and (3) apatite and byproducts of phosphate minerals.
Phosphogypsum, a waste product from manufacturing fertilizer, emits radon, a radioactive gas. It also contains the radioactive elements uranium, thorium and radium. Phosphate rock mining is the fifth largest mining …
Phosphate mining generates large quantities of waste rock and sludge annually, resulting in significant environmental issues. The large areas of mine sites used to store these wastes limit the availability of usable and agricultural land, alter the topography of the land, and degrade the landscape's aesthetics. In this study, the acid activation of phosphate by …
Toxic byproducts from phosphate mining are stored there. Renamed the Eastport Terminal Facility in recent years, it is now an industrial site that houses warehouses and businesses in addition to ...
F eb. 28—A change to Manatee County's phosphate mining rules ... possible health risks for people and the environment due to its potential for pollution and the creation of radioactive byproducts.
The byproducts of the phosphate mining industry, hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride, are sold to cities around the world, and then dumped into those cities' municipal water supplies....
To meet the growing global demand for rare earth elements (REEs), nontraditional mining sources of these metals are being investigated. Phosphate ore and phosphate mining wastes have been ...
Conservation, public health and environmental justice organizations notified the Environmental Protection Agency today of their intent to sue the agency for failing to respond to a rulemaking petition requesting stronger oversight and regulation of toxic and radioactive waste from phosphate mining and fertilizer production. The notice comes three years after the …
While Florida calls itself the Sunshine State, from a geological and economic perspective, it could just as accurately be known as the Phosphate State. The so-called Bone Valley of central Florida contains some of the largest …
Several pieces of research have focused on utilizing the waste mining generated by the phosphate (El Machi, 2020) industry. The present work is aimed at the valorization of the phosphate waste mine on manufacturing compacted earth blocks (CEB). The specimens were prepared from a mixture of waste rock, crushed sand, the filasse fiber.
1. Introduction. The worldwide production of phosphate was approximately 147 million tons in 2017, and may rise up to an estimated 168 millions of tons in 2022 [1, 2].Morocco is known for its major Phosphate reserves estimated at, 2/3 of the world reserve of sedimentary phosphate rock [3].For this reason, Morocco is currently one of the leaders in the world …
Namibian Marine Phosphate (Pty) Ltd (NMP) is developing a world class phosphate project off the coast of Namibia that will establish Namibia as a premier rock phosphate producer in the global market, contributing significantly to the Namibian economy and supporting ongoing crop production through the provision of phosphorus for fertiliser.
Phosphate Mining Phosphate strip mining has irreparably changed the face of Florida, devastating hundreds of ... creates phosphogypsum, a radioactive, hazardous byproduct that …
Phosphate rock (phosphorite) mining is the fifth largest mining industry in the United States in terms of quantity of material mined. In 2019 the total production of phosphate rock in the U.S. was estimated at 23 …
Florida is home to the majority of phosphate-mining operations in the United States — and the United States is the world's third-leading producer of phosphate rock. ... The process also creates phosphogypsum, a radioactive …
The Catalão carbonatite resources in Brazil are, however, estimated at 75 million tons. The Siinlinjärvi Mine in eastern Finland, the largest open pit mine in Finland and the only phosphate mine in Western Europe, currently produces about 9.2 million tons of ore per year from the igneous Siilinjärvi carbonatite complex (Luoma et al., 2015).
But, scientific study of the potential health problems associated with phosphate mining is relatively recent. ... Public health officials were concerned about the potential effects of the toxic and radioactive gypsum and its byproducts on groundwater supplies. However, with a two million cubic foot hole in the ground, there was little to be ...
Flotation alone accounts for 65 percent of the total energy required per ton to process phosphate. The total energy required to both mine and process phosphate was 70,670 Btu per ton. …
While Florida calls itself the Sunshine State, from a geological and economic perspective, it could just as accurately be known as the Phosphate State. The so-called Bone Valley of central Florida contains some of the largest phosphate deposits in the world, which supply global agriculture with one of its most important commodities: synthetic fertilizer. In the process, the mining …
Zhang said that his work on the economic and technical feasibility of REE recovery from phosphate sludge, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, proved that mining wastes and byproducts "are ...
The biggest source for rare earth elements, he said, is not in the ground, but in phosphate industry byproducts like phosphogypsum. "There are enough rare earths in the phosphate waste in the U.S. to meet the U.S. demand for rare …
Bills have been introduced in the state legislature that would allow the use of a radioactive byproduct of phosphate mining in road beds. Its use is currently prohibited across the country. The bill in the Florida House was …
Phosphogypsum is the waste left behind from mining phosphate rock, which is commonly used for producing fertilizer, and is known for containing "radioactive material," according to the EPA.
As a next step, Zhang, a national research team and The Mosaic Co., the largest phosphate mining company in Florida, have proposed a commercial demonstration plant on mining lands that would process rare earth elements from phosphoric acid sludge. ... he said, is not in the ground, but in phosphate industry byproducts like phosphogypsum ...
While dissolution of phosphate rocks and the formation of acidic and highly saline wastewater for fertilizers production has been recognized as one of the potential environmental risks of ...
Sedimentary phosphate mines produce millions of tons of waste rocks during their open-pit mining. In addition, during ore phosphate beneficiation, fluorapatite is separated from associated gangue ...
Another byproduct of phosphate strip-mining is waste clay. The clay is filtered from the slurry mixture during processing. This waste clay contains toxic levels of uranium and radium and …
