Textural and structural characteristics of phosphorites from the Polpinsky deposit
Abstract
The textural and structural characteristics of phosphorites from the Polpinsky deposit have been determined. These raw materials are shown to be of siliceous polymineral type and consist mostly of α-quartz, hydroxycarbonate apatite, montmorillonite, and bonschtedtite. The modification dynamics of chemical composition and the textural characteristics (specific surface, pore volume, and pore diameter) of the solid upon the acid decomposition of a phosphorite sample from Polpinsky deposit have been studied. The α-quartz in phosphorites is shown to not experience crystal-structural alterations upon acid decomposition; its pore size does not inhibit the extraction of acid-soluble components, including calcium and phosphorus, from the bulk.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
