Sedimentary deposits of phosphate ores can be treated by flotation when the gangue consists essentially of siliceous materials, as the phosphatic sandstone in Central Florida. The sedimentary phosphates with high carbonates (e.g., Southern Florida and Mediterranean area), however, are not easily floated.
