In this work, in order to study the release, migration, sorption, and (re)precipitation of uranium (U) during alteration under oxidizing conditions, we carried out a systematic study using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray maps, and electron microprobe

Distinguishing xenotime and zircon in ores and estimating the xenotime content for on-site analysis
Estimation of the content of the major minerals containing rare earth element (REE) (e.g., xenotime, monazite, and bastnäsite) to extract metal REEs is a critical task for efficient exploration of mines with REE reserves. X-ray-excited optical luminescence (XEOL) imaging is a promising method for estimating the REE-bearing mineral content on-site ...

Location, Location, Location: Monazite Behaviour During UHT Metamorphism and Melt Crystallization
ABSTRACT Monazite is a robust mineral for recording the suprasolidus evolution of migmatites and granulites. However, monazite commonly has diverse compositions and yields variable dates in a single sample; understanding the controls on monazite behaviour and composition during partial melting and melt crystallization are not always straightforward ...

P‐T‐t‐d Evolution of Low‐Grade Metamorphic Xenotime, Eastern Alps (Austria)
ABSTRACT In situ LA‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb dating of xenotime was used to establish the age of low‐grade metamorphism in Permian metasediments of the Austroalpine Unit (Eastern Alps, Austria). Complexly zoned xenotime in chloritoid‐bearing metasedimentary samples possesses distinct MREE‐rich domains. In the eastern sample, this domain yielded a date of c. 135 Ma,

Geochemical characterisation of xenotime formation environments using U-Th
Xenotime (YPO4) is a trace component in many metasedimentary and some igneous rocks, altered rocks and many hydrothermal ore assemblages, where it forms in response to a range of different processes from igneous crystallisation to low-temperature early ...

Decomposition of Xenotime with Sulfuric Acid
マライ産ゼノタイムを試料として用い,硫酸によって分解するときの最適条件を求めることを目的とし,微粉砕試料について硫酸量,硫酸濃,処理温度,処理時間などと希土類元素の抽出率との関係について検討した。小規模な実験において,微粉砕試料ではつきのような条件でほとんど完全に分解する。(1)試料:硫酸1:2.0,(2)硫酸濃度95%,(3)処理温度250℃,(4)処理時間30分。ゼノタイム試料についてはX線分析によっても検討した。
