Apatite minerals were raw phosphorite ores produced in Kaiyang Phosphate Mine, Guizhou Province, China. For single minerals, after removing impurities by hands, breaking with a ceramic jaw crusher, and grinding by a ceramic ball mill, the samples with a particle size less than 25 μm were screened for testing.

Once formed, the apatite is incredibly stable, and can hold onto captured contaminants for millennia, the researchers established. "The apatite technology has successfully reduced the concentration of uranium, vanadium and molybdenum in the groundwater at the Rifle site," said Mark Rigali, the Sandia geochemist leading the project.
The inhibitory effect of fetuin-A on apatite formation was demonstrated by a cell-free salt precipitation assay and by an in vitro calcification system using cultured osteoblasts [34].In addition, the phenotype of fetuin-A-deficient mice, which are prone to ectopic calcification, supports the significance of fetuin-A in vivo [35].More precisely, fetuin-A seems to inhibit apatite precipitation ...

The synthesis is performed in an AGO-2 planetary mill. The complete conversion of initial reagents in the synthesis of substituted apatite takes a longer period as compared to the time required for the synthesis of unsubstituted apatite. The mechanochemical synthesis time must be 40 min to synthesize lanthanum-and-silicate substituted apatite ...
12%In the present study apatite concentrate originating from iron ore beneficiation done by LKAB in Kiruna, Sweden, is explored as a possible source for REEs. The composition and distribution of the REEs within the concentrates are studied using ICP-MS, XRD and SEM-EDS/EPMA, as well as the melting point and heat of fusion using DTA-TGA-MS.

The concentration of the apatite crystals occurred in the interfacial area during the melting process at 1473 K in super gravity field can be explained as the following reasons: Since the temperature was not high enough for the active iron-slag interface reaction 20) or phosphate compound formation reaction, 27) thus the phosphorus mainly ...
F concentration was F has a high affinity for calcified tissues and is found to be concentrated analyzed by Neutron Activation Analysis and in dental and bone structures (National Research Council, 1993). apatite crystal size by powder x-ray diffraction.
Apatite incorporates variable and significant amounts of halogens (mainly F and Cl) in its crystal structure, which can be used to determine the initial F and Cl concentrations of magmas. The amount of chlorine in the apatite lattice also exerts an important compositional control on the degree of fission-track annealing.

"The apatite technology has successfully reduced the concentration of uranium, vanadium and molybdenum in the groundwater at the Rifle site," said Mark Rigali, the Sandia geochemist leading the project. "Moreover, the levels of uranium have remained below the Department of Energy's target concentration for more than three years."
At present, JSC "Apatit" is a large Mining and Chemical Complex consisting of four mines, three concentrating mills and various support units. Core production activity is the production of apatite concentrate from apatite-nepheline ore. In the early 2000s, the company employed up to 13,000 people.

The Apatite group can be expressed as: Y 5 (ZO 4) 3 (OH,F,Cl) when Y=Ca and Z=P. However in natural form apatite structure can be replaced by several elements: Y can be replace by Sr, Pb, Ba, Na, Cd, Mg, Mn, Fe and Z replace by PO 4,Si, SO 4, As, CO 3, V, and others.16,17 Table 1 Main varieties of apatite and their formulae from59
Concentration Mill. Construction of this 14-story state-of-the-art mill began in 1908 and took 10 years to complete. Tramways connected the 5 Kennecott mines to this mill, transporting up to 1,200 tons of ore every day. At the mill, the ore was processed using advanced technology to extract the copper. Most of the machinary is still intact today.
