The physico-chemical changes occurring during the high-temperature phase transformation of monazite in presence Na2CO3 at 1000 °C for 2 h duration monazite: ratios between 1.0 and 5.0, were investigated. formation sodium lanthanide phosphates was prevalent above a monazite:alkali ratio 2, however, below this ratio, dephosphorization as Na3PO4 Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 solid solutions occur offering unique...
