	Phosphate Rock
		Phosphate rock can be any rock or sediment with sufficiently high concentrations of some form of the mineral fluorapatite (Ca to be of commercial value.
		Commercial phosphate rock is usually sedimentary in origin and is used primarily as a plant nutrient, either by direct application to the soils as a powdered product or in the manufacture of superphosphate or triple super-phosphate fertilizer.
		Since phosphate rock is a low-cost commodity, certain cost-limiting conditions must be met for a deposit to be minable.

	The Phosphate Fertilizer Industry: An Environmental Overview
		In the 1960s, air pollution emitted by another phosphate plant in Garrison, Montana was severe enough to be branded "the worst in the nation" by a 1967 National Air Pollution Conference in Washington, D.C. As in Polk County, and other communities downwind of fluoride emissions, the cattle in Garrison were poisoned by fluoride.
		It is because phosphate and uranium were laid down at the same time and in the same place by the same geological processes millions of years ago.
		Resting atop the phosphate industry's gypsum piles are highly-acidic wastewater ponds, littered with toxic contaminants, including fluoride, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and the various decay-products of uranium.

		In agriculture phosphate refers to one of the three primary plant nutrients, and it is a component of fertilizers.
		Surface runoff of phosphates from excessively fertilized farmland can be a cause of phosphate pollution in surface waters, leading to eutrophication (algal bloom) and consequent oxygen deficit, leading to (anoxia) for fish and other aquatic life in the same manner as phosphate-based detergents.

	Florida DEP Industrial Wastewater Phosphate Industry
		With its vast phosphate deposits, the majority of which are located in the west-central part of the state, Florida has become one of the world's largest producers of phosphate and accounts for 75% of the nation's and 25% of the world's phosphate production.
		The first step in separating phosphate from the clay and sand is to put the slurry in a washer where large balls of clay are mechanically disintegrated.
		The Florida Institute of Phosphate Research is currently working on research to find uses for phosphogypsum, and improve environmental quality of wastes and land reclamation, as well as improving the efficiency of the industry's processes.

		Phosphate is an important plant fertilizer that stimulates plant growth at very low concentrations.
		The Phosphate level in unpolluted natural waters is always very low, and Plants use so much that there is always a demand for it.
		In most aquariums the plant growth is insufficient to use up all the Phosphate that is added with feeding, therefore it accumulates in the water.

	High energy phosphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It can mean the compounds which contain these bonds, which include the nucleoside diphosphates and nucleoside triphosphates, and the high energy storage compounds of the muscle, the phosphagens.
		High energy phosphate bonds are pyrophosphate bonds, acid anhydride linkages, formed by taking phosphoric acid derivatives and dehydrating them.
		As a consequence, the hydrolysis of these bonds is exothermic under physiological conditions, releasing energy.
