Phosphate rock contains traces of rare earth elements (REEs) and can be a secondary source of these critical materials as large tonnages of phosphate rock are mined annually. Attention has mostly focused on the extraction of REEs from phosphogypsum, which contains more than 70 percent of the REEs reporting to phosphate concentrate, with only …
Monazite is a poorly soluble mineral of rare earth phosphate. It is an ore of the rare earths which is difficult to break down; in industry either concentrated sulphuric acid or caustic soda is used to attack finely ground monazite at between 140 °C and 400 °C. In these processes, the rare earths are converted into different solid compounds, undergoing an …
