The objective of mineral processing is to liberate and separate the valuable minerals from the gangue. In order to separate the valuable minerals from the gangue, it is necessary to crush and/or grind the rocks to a size where they are partially or fully exposed, or "liberated". The process of crushing and grinding is referred to as ...

Geology, deposit types, and ore minerals. There are more than 200 minerals that contain REE. 7,8 The most common rare-earth minerals are monazite and bastnäsite (Figure 1a–b and Table II).Monazite exists as a group of arsenates, phosphates, and silicates, but the primary REE-bearing monazite is a complex phosphate. 5 …
