| General comment | Phosphate ore, also known as phosphate rock or phosphorite, is a type of rock that is mined for its phosphorous content. It is the fifth largest mining industry in the United States. In 2019, the total production of phosphate rock in the U.S. was estimated at 23 million metric tons. Phosphate ore is primarily used to produce phosphate fertilizers, an important source of phosphorus for crops. It is also used to manufacture feed additives, industrial products, and lithium iron phosphate batteries for electric vehicles. Phosphates are a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, and phospholipids. |
