Phosphate Deposits

ABSTRACT. The existence of phosphate deposits in the Brazilian continental margin is known since the 1970’s and 1980’s after the Global Recognition of the Brazilian Continental Margin Program – REMAC Project (Programa de Reconhecimento Global da Margem Continental Brasileira – Projeto REMAC) a joint program to explorethe Brazilian continental margin. Phosphate deposits were collected on the seamounts offshore the northeastern Brazilian margin. In the early 2000’s, phosphate sampleswere taken incidentally by demersal fishing fleet in the southern Brazilian continental margin which contributed to the knowledge of these deposits in the southwestern Atlantic. This paper describes the mineralogy of the samples with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The new phosphate deposits in the Brazilian continental margin suggests a much wider phosphate distribution than imagined in the REMAC publications, thus representing a contribution to the effort of the Brazilian Government, through the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Geological Survey of Brazil (CPRM), the Inter-ministerial Commission for the Resources of the Sea andthe Marine Geology and Geophysics Program who together undertake a Program to the Evaluation of the Mineral Potential of the Brazilian Legal Continental Shelf(REMPLAC), whose goal is to conduct a further investigation of the mineral potential of the Brazilian Territorial Sea and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).Keywords: marine mineral resource, phosphate deposits, Rio Grande Terrace. RESUMO. A existência de depósitos fosfáticos na margem continental brasileira é conhecida desde as décadas de 1970 e 1980, graças ao Projeto de Reconhecimento Global da Margem Continental Brasileira (REMAC) quando fosforitas foram recolhidas sobre os montes submarinos da região Nordeste. No início dos anos 2000, amostras foram obtidas incidentalmente pela frota pesqueira demersal na margem continental sul brasileira, as quais foram incorporadas como novas ocorrências, contribuindo para o conhecimento destes depósitos no Atlântico sul ocidental. Este trabalho descreve a mineralogia deste material amostrado a partir de análises realizadas com microscópio eletrônico de varredura e difratometria de raios X. A localização das novas ocorrências de depósitos fosfáticos na margem continental brasileira sugere uma distribuição bem mais ampla desses recursos minerais marinhos do que se imaginava até as publicações do REMAC, representando, portanto, uma contribuição ao esforço do governo brasileiro, através do Ministério de Minas e Energia, do Serviço Geológico do Brasil, da Comissão Interministerial para os Recursos do Mar e do Programa de Geologia e Geofísica Marinha que, juntos, empreendemo Programa de Avaliação da Potencialidade Mineral da Plataforma Continental Jurídica Brasileira (REMPLAC), cujameta é realizar estudos mais aprofundados sobre a potencialidade mineral do Mar Territorial Brasileiro e da Zona Econômica Exclusiva (ZEE).Palavras-chave: recurso mineral marinho, depósitos fosfáticos, Terraço do Rio Grande.

All papers published in this volume (IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science) have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing. • Type of peer review: Single-anonymous: authors’ identities are known to the reviewers, reviewers’ identities are hidden from authors. Main criteria used by Reviewers when accepting/declining papers: 1. Relevance to the scope of the Conference 2. Suitability & length of the title 3. Scientific originality 4. Adequacy of the abstract 5. Scientific quality 6. Text quality 7. English level • Conference submission management system: Full paper submission was fully managed by editorial board of Conference • Number of submissions received: 53 full papers • Number of submissions sent for review: 51 full papers • Number of submissions accepted: 48 full papers • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted/Number of Submissions Received X 100): 90.56 % • Average number of reviews per paper: 2 (117 reviews) • Total number of reviewers involved: 51 reviewers (15 institutes) from 3 countries • Any additional info on review process: The review process and revision were conducted 3 rounds on average for each paper since the first submission after presentation at the conference. The first step was to check the format of paper and base quality of English level. The second-round of review was organized for papers with minor remarks from reviewers, for example the graphics or style. The third round required only for papers that need major modifications (scientific discussion on topic). All reviewers were asked to complete the review within enough time ranged no more than three weeks. We have asked authors to revise according to suggestions by reviewers within time ranged between 7-10 days. After being accepted, the final English proofread and format checking our specialists were carried out to ensure the quality prior to submission to IOP EES. • Contact person for queries: Name: Aleksandr Zakupin, Ph.D. Affiliation: Institute for Marine Geology and Geophysics, Department of Seismology Email: [email protected]
