The AXO4 monazite-type compounds form an extended family that is described in this
review in terms of field of stability versus composition. All the substitution possibilities on the …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical materials in electronics and clean technologies. With
the diminishing of easily accessible minerals for mining, the REE recovery from waste is an …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

To assess progress in high‐temperature calorimetry over the past eighteen years, this
feature article discusses both technical developments and new areas of application, with …

Orthophosphate compounds of the type A (PO4) include the minerals monazite [RE (PO4)
with RE= the light rare-earth ions, eg, La, Ce, Nd…], xenotime [Y (PO4), and also …

Monazite growth and composition has been modeled in the system K2O–Na2O–CaO–MnO–
MgO–FeO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O–Y2O3–Ce2O3–P2O5–F and a pseudosection is presented …

Calculations of the transition from allanite to monazite-bearing assemblages in typical pelitic
bulk compositions have been made using thermodynamic data estimated from oxide sums …

Starting from theoretical calculations based on LSDA, the authors compute the lattice
parameters, cohesive energies and formation enthalpies of monazite-type REPO 4 …

The disposal of radioactive “waste” generated by the nuclear fuel cycle is among the most
pressing and potentially costly environmental problems of the 21st century, a heritage from …
