Occurrence of Rare Earth, Iron, Phosphorus and Calcium in High Grade Rare Earth Concentrate
Rare earth grade of Bayan Obo mixed rare earth concentrate is 65.86%, and the contents of P2O5, CaO and TFe are 11.26%, 3.89% and 1.34%, respectively. Chemical analysis, automatic mineral analysis system, SEM and EDS were used to study the occurrence of ...

Texturally complex monazite grains contained in two granulite‐facies pelitic migmatites from southern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada, were mapped by laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (using spot sizes ≤5 µm) to quantitatively ...

Zircon ages in granulite facies rocks: decoupling from geochemistry above 850 °C? [PDF]
Granulite facies rocks frequently show a large spread in their zircon ages, the interpretation of which raises questions: Has the isotopic system been disturbed? By what process(es) and conditions did the alteration occur?

Multi-heavy mineral separation techniques like density, magnetic, and electromagnetic techniques are followed by picking, grain counting, and mineralogical examinations conducted with an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). These techniques

Detrital monazite geochronology has been used in provenance studies. However, there are complexities in the interpretation of age spectra due to their wide occurrence in both igneous and metamorphic rocks. We use the multinomial logistic regression (MLR)

The absence of metamictisation in natural monazite
The actinide-containing mineral monazite–(Ce) is a common accessory rock component that bears petrogenetic information, is widely used in geochronology and thermochronology, and is considered as potential host material for immobilisation of radioactive ...

Speculations Linking Monazite Compositions to Origin: Llallagua Tin Ore Deposit (Bolivia)
Monazite [(Ce,Th)PO4] from the Llallagua tin ore deposit in Bolivia is characterized by low radiogenic element contents. Previously reported field evidence and mineral associations suggest the mineral formed via direct precipitation from hydrothermal ...

Monazite transformation into Ce- and La-containing oxalates by Aspergillus niger.
Monazite is a naturally-occurring lanthanide (Ln) phosphate mineral [Lnx (PO4 )y ] and is the main industrial source of the rare earth elements (REE), cerium and lanthanum.

Plate tectonics: When ancient continents collide [PDF]
The geological record preserves scant evidence for early plate tectonics. Analysis of eclogites — metamorphic rocks formed in subduction zones — in the Trans-Hudson mountain belt suggests modern-style subduction may have operated 1,800 million years ...

Economic evaluation of thorium oxide production from monazite using alkaline fusion method
Monazite is a phosphate mineral that contains thorium (Th) and rare earth elements. The Th concentration in monazite can be as high as 500 ppm, and it has the potential to be used as fuel in the nuclear power system.
