Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00
Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
Phosphates And Global Sustainability
April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource. Understanding the properties of phosphate minerals may hold the key to protecting the future of this resource. Phosphate minerals are also of extreme importance in biomineralization and could be the future hosts of nuclear waste. Despite all this, mineralogists and geochemists have invested little time understanding phosphate mineral stability, reactivity, and transformations, and this issue attempts to bring phosphates to the forefront of our scientific endeavors.
