Phosphate usually occurs as the mineral apatite, Ca5F(PO4)3 in igneous and metamorphic rocks. It may be derived from a number of sources but the most common is the one that contains high concentration of phosphates in nodular or compact masses.

Phosphate is an essential mineral that can be found in high volumes in phosphate rock from Ghana. This phosphate rock is a good source of nutrients that can be used to create high-quality fertilizer. The phosphate rock from Ghana is also less likely to contain heavy metals, like cadmium and lead. The high amount of phosphate in phosphate rock ...Web

ABSTRACT The phosphorus (P) release characteristic of Ogun rock phosphate (OPR) acidulated with cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), an industrial waste, was studied under laboratory conditions for ten weeks. The results showed that the acidulation of phosphate rock with cashew nutshell liquid at a ratio of 4 to 1 released the highest …Web
phosphate rock deposits provide 75% of the world's phosphate resources, while 15 – 20 % come from igneous and weathered deposits and only 1 – 2% from biogenic (mainly from and bat guano accumulations) resources (van Straaten, 2002). In Nigeria, the phosphate deposits are of the sedimentary, marine origin. InWeb
