Mineral phosphate precipitation is often recognized to limit the availability of phosphorus in acid soils of tropical and subtropical forests.

热带和亚热带酸性土壤磷矿物的沉淀通常被认为会限制土壤有效磷的供应。

For example, a newly discovered mineral called hazenite, named for Hazen, forms only because of phosphate produced by a microorganism that lives in the acidic waters of Mono Lake in California.

例如，一个新发现的称为黑曾石的矿物，是以黑曾的名字命名的，它仅仅由于一种生活在加利福尼亚州莫诺湖酸性水域的微生物产生的磷酸盐而形成。

The islands have few mineral deposits worth exploiting, except for high-grade phosphate.

岛内除了高磷酸盐，能够开采的资源很少。

The most common source of thorium is the rare earth phosphate mineral, monazite.

FORBES: Is Thorium the Biggest Energy Breakthrough Since Fire? Possibly.

The Industrial Products segment produces flame retardants (FR) and a variety of bromine compounds as well as other chemicals based primarily on rich mineral resources found in the Dead Sea, and the Performance Products segment is a phosphate powerhouse that produces a number of downstream products for food and industrial applications, offering solutions for the food, cleaning products, fire safety, coatings and electronics industries.
