The use of pracaxi oil collector in the selective flotation of xenotime from silicates [PDF]
Rare earth elements have played a key role in technological advancement, attracting great visibility in the global commodity market. Xenotime, a heavy rare earth resource (YPO4), can be found associated with granitic rocks, as in the Pitinga deposit ...

Biofilm formation on the surface of monazite and xenotime during bioleaching [PDF]
Microbial attachment and biofilm formation is a ubiquitous behaviour of microorganisms and is the most crucial prerequisite of contact bioleaching. Monazite and xenotime are two commercially exploitable minerals containing rare earth elements (REEs ...

Monazite, rhabdophane, xenotime & churchite: Vibrational spectroscopy of gadolinium phosphate polymorphs [PDF]
Rare-earth phosphates with the general formula REEPO4·nH2O belong to four distinct structural types: monazite, rhabdophane, churchite, and xenotime. We report herein the first direct comparison between vibrational spectra of these compounds for the same metal cation i.e. gadolinium.
