Rare Earth Extraction Method in Monazite

摘要

A method for extracting rare earth elements from monazite is disclosed. The method includes milling a mixture of monazite including phosphates and rare earth elements and sodium hydroxides inside a mill containing a plurality of balls to form powder by colliding the mixture into balls with each other, converting the mixture into rare earth hydroxides and sodium phosphates through the reaction occurring in the process of repeated collision, and extracting rare earth elements from the powder.
