Process development to recover rare earth metals from monazite mineral
The mining and processing of rare earth minerals is complicated, costly and there is potential for negative effects on the environment (Hurst, 2010). Mines are the major source for the release of three major contaminants: radionuclides, rare earth elements, and dust and metal. Each of these contaminants escapes have different …
