Crystallochemical Aspects of the Phosphate Minerals

  • Chapter
Phosphate Minerals

Abstract

The details of phosphate mineral chemistry are intricate and voluminous. The great burst of knowledge, gained largely within the past 20 years, is due to the rapid increase of efficiency in artificial intelligence and the consequent practicability of systematic crystal structure analysis.
