Summary

Xenotime ore was cracked with sulfuric acid. The difficulty encountered in cracking the ore can probably be overcore by finer grinding and higher digestion temperatures. The uranium content was removed in anion exchange columns. Of the total material recovered from the columns, 15.0% was recovered as 95% Y/sub 2/C/sub 3/, 25.7% was recovered as 99% Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/, 2.5% was recovered as 99.9% Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and 4.3% was recovered as high purity yttrium oxide.
