The textural and structural characteristics of phosphorites from the Polpinsky deposit have been determined. These raw materials are shown to be of siliceous polymineral type and consist mostly of α-quartz, hydroxycarbonate apatite, montmorillonite, and bonschtedtite. The modification dynamics of chemical composition and the textural characteristics (specific surface, pore volume, and pore diameter) of the solid upon the acid decomposition of a phosphorite sample from Polpinsky deposit have been studied. The α-quartz in phosphorites is shown to not experience crystal-structural alterations upon acid decomposition; its pore size does not inhibit the extraction of acid-soluble components, including calcium and phosphorus, from the bulk.
