Large scale mining and processing of phosphate is essential for operating at a profit In the Florida area Phosphate Beneficiation by flotation unlocked the door to vast tonnages of ore which in the past could not be recovered by conventional washing methods which saved only the coarser pebble phosphate Many of the areas now being mined contain very little or no pebble phosphate Abandoned mining equipment leaks acids from batteri Mining exposes unweathered rock surfaces that react with water and the atmosphere to generate acids Concentrated acids used to dissolve metals from the rock are picked up in rainwater The acid is already present in trapped underground pockets and is released by mining equipment

To evaluate the potential pollution risk of phosphorus leaching from phosphate waste rocks the phosphorus leaching behaviors of six phosphate waste rock samples with different weathering degrees under both neutral and acidic conditions were investigated using a series of column leaching experiments following the Method standard of the US Abandoned mining equipment leaks acids from batteri Mining exposes unweathered rock surfaces that react with water and the atmosphere to generate acids Concentrated acids used to dissolve metals from the rock are picked up in rainwater The acid is already present in trapped underground pockets and is released by mining equipment

In drastic contrast to that assessment however the FIPR reports that Florida s phosphate reserves estimated at ten billion tons will last 300 more years based on the current mining rate But the future of phosphate mining in Florida will be influenced by factors other than the The Mining Process Strip mining for phosphate rock violently transforms the environment irreparably changing the character of the natural landscape In many cases mines displace species and eat up thousands of acres of valuable habitat that are impossible to truly restore to their natural state
