About This Book

The work surveys the minerals that host the rare-earth and related elements, cataloguing their silicates, titanates, oxides, phosphates and monazite-bearing sands and discussing modes of occurrence and radioactivity. It then reviews analytical and separation methods and the chemical properties of the cerium, yttrium, and associated groups, with treatment of titanium, zirconium and thorium. Finally it examines technological processes and applications, including monazite processing, the incandescent mantle industry, artificial silk for mantles, and broader industrial uses of rare-earth compounds and titanium. Emphasis is chemical and technical, blending mineralogy, laboratory practice, and industrial manufacture.
