An X-ray study of the reaction of calcium oxide and calcium chloride in the decomposition of monazite

This paper outlines a review of the structure of monazite, methods of its decomposition and results of an X-ray study of monazite before and after treatment with a mixture of calcium oxide and calcium chloride, in connection with the separation of phosphate from monazite.
