The feasibility of extraction of thorium and rare earths from monazite through a thermal plasma and a chemical treatment process
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Monazite is a chemically inert, rare earth phosphate mineral, which is difficult to process using conventional chemical digestive techniques. Monazite contains important commercial sources of thorium and lanthanides. The ... -
High-temperature thermal plasma treatment of monazite followed by aqueous digestion
(SAIMM, 2016)Monazite is a chemically inert, radioactive phosphate mineral that contains the light rare earth metals (Ce, La, Nd, Pr and Y), thorium and uranium. A new process, which improves the extraction efficiency of monazite, ...
