Apatite est le nom d\u00e9signant un groupe de min\u00e9raux phosphat\u00e9s de composition variable. C\u2019est un min\u00e9ral souvent de couleur verte, mais quelques fois il peut \u00eatre de teinte blanche, grise, brun\u00e2tre, rouge\u00e2tre ou bleue. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, l\u2019apatite se pr\u00e9sente sous forme de prisme hexagonal, mais sa forme peut varier. L\u2019apatite est le min\u00e9ral le plus r\u00e9pandu des min\u00e9raux phosphat\u00e9s.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Utilisation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Le phosphate, extrait de roches phosphat\u00e9es, est utilis\u00e9 principalement (> 90 %) dans la fabrication de fertilisant agricole. On l\u2019utilise \u00e9galement dans la fabrication de d\u00e9tergent, de nourriture pour animaux, de nourriture et de boissons, de poudre pour extincteurs, de produits dentaires, pour le traitement de surface des m\u00e9taux. Quant au phosphore extrait du phosphate, il est utilis\u00e9 dans la fabrication d\u2019allumettes, de bombes incendiaires, de produits pyrotechniques, en m\u00e9decine ainsi que dans la tannerie du cuir et le raffinage du sucre.<\/p>\n

Mines au Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Il n\u2019existe aucune mine d\u2019apatite active au Qu\u00e9bec. Cela dit, deux projets d\u2019exploration bien avanc\u00e9s sur l\u2019apatite sont en cours au Qu\u00e9bec : projet\u00a0Mine Arnaud<\/a>\u00a0et le projet\u00a0Lac \u00e0 Paul d’Arianne Phosphate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Il existe plusieurs anciennes mines d\u2019apatite dans l\u2019Outaouais o\u00f9 de faibles quantit\u00e9s d\u2019apatite (100 \u00e0 1000 tonnes) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 exploit\u00e9es. Parmi celles-ci,\u00a0Mine Barrett (Old Chelsea)<\/a>,\u00a0Mine Harris-Wakefield<\/a>,\u00a0Mine McRae<\/a>\u00a0et\u00a0Mine Ganagan<\/a>.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

Faits int\u00e9ressants<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Le nom apatite, choisi par le min\u00e9ralogiste\u00a0Abraham Gottlob Werner<\/a>, vient du mot grec apatan, qui veut dire tromper. Werner a bien choisi, puisque l\u2019apatite a longtemps \u00e9t\u00e9 confondue avec des min\u00e9raux divers d\u00fb \u00e0 ses aspects et couleurs vari\u00e9s.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

Certaines roches lunaires de la\u00a0mission Apollo<\/a>\u00a0contiennent de l\u2019apatite.4<\/sup><\/p>\n

Outre le Qu\u00e9bec, des gisements d\u2019apatite sont pr\u00e9sents en Ontario, en Chine, au Maroc, aux \u00c9tats-Unis, en Russie et au Br\u00e9sil.5<\/sup><\/p>\n
