Monazite is a phosphate mineral that is rich in light rare earth elements (LREE). It is commonly found in various rock types and is used as a reliable geochronometer to date magmatic and metamorphic rocks. Monazite can also be found in hydrothermal mineral deposits and low-grade metasedimentary rocks. From: Earth-Science Reviews, 2024

Xenotime deposits (xenotime is a rare earth phosphate mineral which is a rich source of yttrium and heavy rare earths) in Madhya Pradesh, carbonatite-alkaline complex in Ambadongar, Gujarat, polymetallic mineralization in Siwana Ring Complex, Rajasthan (Banerjee et al., 2014) are some of the promising areas for REE exploration …
The phosphate ore was provided by Heibei Fanshan Phosphorite Co., Ltd. The chemical analysis of the phosphate rock is shown in Table 1 and the partitioning of rare earth oxides (REO) is displayed in Table 2 (Phosphate rock was decomposed by combination of perchloric acid and nitric acid and then diluted for ICP-OES test). As the …
The wet process is the most commonly used worldwide for phosphoric acid (PA) production, in which phosphate rock (PR) is reacted with strong acid mainly sulfuric acid. This work aims on studying the rare earth elements (REEs) distribution during the production of phosphoric acid using different qualities of phosphate through various …
Phosphate rock containing rare earth elements (REEs) is considered one of the most promising potential secondary sources of REEs, as evidenced by large tonnages of phosphate rock mined annually. The bioleaching of REEs from phosphate rock using A. ferrooxidans was done for the first time in this study, and it was found to be greater than ...

Generally, phosphate rock contains about 0.05 wt% rare earth elements (REEs) on average. And the world commercial phosphate rock production is estimated to be 250 million tons per year, that makes phosphate rock a potential new REEs resource.
Minjingu phosphate ore is Tanzania's sole domestic supply of phosphorus (P). The ore contains medium to high concentrations of naturally occurring P 2 O 5 (20–35 %) and relevant concentrations of uranium and rare earth elements (REEs) are also suspected to be present. Currently, neither uranium nor REEs are recovered.
The increasing demand for rare earth elements (REEs), especially from new and innovative technology, has strained their supply, which makes the exploration of …

What is Monazite? Monazite is a rare phosphate mineral with a chemical composition of (Ce,La,Nd,Th)(PO 4,SiO 4).It usually occurs in small isolated grains, as an accessory mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks such as granite, pegmatite, schist, and gneiss.These grains are resistant to weathering and become concentrated in soils and …
Comprehensive reviews of rare earth recovery from phosphate rock-related materials can be found in the literature (Eskanlou and Huang, 2021; Wu et al., 2018).

His background in organic chemistry inspired him to patent the technology. The biggest source for rare earth elements, he said, is not in the ground, but in phosphate industry byproducts like phosphogypsum. "There are enough rare earths in the phosphate waste in the U.S. to meet the U.S. demand for rare earth metal annually," he said.
