WHAT DOES MONAZITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

monazite

Monazite

Monazite is a reddish-brown phosphate mineral containing rare earth metals. It occurs usually in small isolated crystals. There are at least four different kinds of monazite, depending on relative elemental composition of the mineral: ▪ monazite-Ce PO4 ▪ monazite-La PO4 ▪ monazite-Nd PO4 ▪ monazite-Sm PO4 The elements in parentheses are listed in the order in which they are in relative proportion within the mineral: lanthanum is the most common rare earth in monazite-La, and so forth. Silica, SiO2, will be present in trace amounts, as well as small amounts of uranium and thorium. Due to the alpha decay of thorium and uranium, monazite contains a significant amount of helium, which can be extracted by heating. Monazite is an important ore for thorium, lanthanum, and cerium. It is often found in placer deposits. India, Madagascar, and South Africa have large deposits of monazite sands. The deposits in India are particularly rich in monazite. It has a hardness of 5.0 to 5.5 and is relatively dense, about 4.6 to 5.7 g/cm3. Because of the presence of thorium within monazite, it can be radioactive.

Definition of monazite in the English dictionary

The definition of monazite in the dictionary is a yellow to reddish-brown mineral consisting of a phosphate of thorium, cerium, and lanthanum in monoclinic crystalline form.
