This is facilitated by the fact that Ukraine owns giant areas of fertile soils. Annual application of complex KNP fertilizers is necessary for productive agricultural production, maintaining soil fertility and increasing agricultural production. If the production of potash and nitrogen fertilizers in Ukraine is provided with its own resources, then chemical plants and plants for the production of phosphate fertilizers operate exclusively on imported raw materials or their needs are met by imports of phosphate fertilizers. At the same time, both endogenous deposits and ore occurrences with high content of phosphorus as well as sedimentary phosphate deposits are known in Ukraine. None of known deposits is currently being developed. Despite the existence of a number of prospecting endogenous deposits and ore occurrences, where phosphorus is a major or concomitant component, there are many aspects related to their composition and genesis what are unclear. Therefore, the future research will be connected to questions distribution and genesis of crystalline rocks with high phosphorus content, revealing of geological processes what contribute to the phosphorus concentration and deposit formation. We suppose to determine petrological and genetic types of phosphate ores, composition (with trace-elements) of the main ore mineral - apatite - and related potential minerals, as well as their structural relationships, which will contribute to the development and improving of ore processing. popup.nrat_date 2024-12-09 Close
