Abstract
Twelve phosphatic clays and three sand tailings from Florida phosphate mining areas were examined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and chemical analysis. Quantitative estimates of mineral species were made using sample XRD data and RRD data obtained on reference minerals, and sample mass attenuation coefficients calculated from X-ray fluorescence total chemical data.
