Description/Abstract:
A PORTION OF THE SYSTEM NA3 PO4 -CACO3 H20 WAS INVESTIGATED AT LOW TEMPERATURES. THE FORMATION OF A CARBONATE APATITE BY PHOSPHATE REPLACEMENT OF CALCITE IN ALKALINE SOLUTIONS AND THE STRUCTURAL POSITIONS OF THE CARBONATE GROUPS ARE DISCUSSED. DATA INDICATE CALCITE REPLACEMENT BY LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF PHOSPHATE TO BE THE PRINCIPLE MECHANISM OF FORMATION OF MARINE PHOSPHORITE DEPOSITS
