Xenotime: Characteristics, Origin and Applications Learn more about the mineral called xenotime - its characteristics, history, and uses and applications. Xenotime belongs to the family of phosphate minerals that contain rare earth metals. It has a chemical formula of YPO4 (yttrium orthophosphate). Xenotime contains high levels of yttrium, as well as other rare earth metals such as ytterbium and erbium which replace yttrium in the mineral's main chemical composition.Keywords:

Zircon is a mineral under the nesosilicate subclass of minerals and the chief source of zirconium, a widely used industrial metal. It has a chemical formula of ZrSiO4 (zirconium silicate) and manifests as a crystals with tetragonal crystal structure. It is one of the most common mineral found in the Earth's crust, appearing in igneous rocks as well as metamorphic and sedimentary rocks as detrital grains. It is also the birthstone for December.Keywords:

The purpose of the smelting process is to produce a metal from its original ore. This includes many types of base metals such as extracting iron from iron ore and copper from its ore. The process of smelting uses both heat and a chemical reduction agent. This process changes the oxidation state of the ore.Keywords:
