Physical processing of xenotime for yttrium recovery

  • 1. Rare Earths Development Section, Materials Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

Rare earth elements are used in various high-tech applications in metallurgy, glass, ceramic, electronic and electrical and nuclear industries. The sources of these elements are minerals such as monazite and xenotime. Process development to extract the high purity rare earth elements from xenotime is described. Detailed studies have been conducted to upgrade and purify the xenotime feedstock from other heavy minerals and gangue minerals which are contaminants for further purification
