In Florida, the phosphate rock is sent to processing plants in which it undergoes "wet process" to convert it into phosphoric acid. In the process, sulfuric acid is added to the phosphate to create phosphoric acid — which is easily absorbed by plants. Phosphogypsum (or "gypsum"), a radioactive material, is a byproduct of this process.

It is part of making cloth and helps to polish aluminum. And, phosphate is also used in making plastics, shaving cream, and bone china dishes. Phosphoric acid is produced at a fertilizer manufacturing facility (sometimes called a chemical processing plant) that is not connected to the mining operations.

Phosphorus is more commonly the key limiting nutrient of freshwater systems. As a result many wastewater treatment plants discharging to fresh water systems such as lakes, ponds and rivers have phosphorus discharge limits. Phosphorus exists in many forms and are generally classified as either soluble or particulate forms of phosphorus.

In 2015, 27.6 million metric tons of marketable phosphate rock, or phosphorite, was mined in the United States, making the US the world's third-largest producer, after China and Morocco.The phosphate mining industry employed 2,200 people. The value of phosphate rock mined was US$2.2 billion.. As of 2015, there are 10 active phosphate mines in four states: Florida, North Carolina, Idaho, and Utah.

The mining of pebble phosphate began in 1888 in central Florida and in the 1960s in Hamilton County. Today phosphate mining occurs primarily in the central Florida area (Polk, Hillsborough, Manatee and Hardee counties). The central Florida phosphate mining region covers approximately 1.3 million acres of land known as the "Bone Valley."

Phosphorus moves slowly from deposits on land and in sediments, to living organisms, and than much more slowly back into the soil and water sediment. The phosphorus cycle is the slowest one of the matter cycles that are described here. Phosphorus is most commonly found in rock formations and ocean sediments as phosphate salts.

This process does not convert 100 percent of the orthophosphate ions into the polyphosphate form. Most polyphosphate fertilizers will have 40 to 60 percent of the phosphorus remaining in the orthophosphate form. In the soil, polyphosphate ions readily convert to orthophosphate ions in the presence of soil water.

Mining is an inherently invasive process that can cause damage to a landscape in an area much larger than the mining site itself. The effects of this damage can continue years after a mine has shut down, including the addition to greenhouse gasses, death of flora and fauna, and erosion of land and habitat.
