| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Insoluble minerals such as zircon contained in alkaline rocks in the whole world include high heavy rare earth elements (HREE). However, they, generally being a heavy mineral and being resistant to chemical decomposition and erosion, have been not used as HREE resources. In this study, we carried out evaluation of crystallinity by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and HREE leaching experiments by using dilute hydrochloric acid for insoluble minerals like zircon, fergusonite and mosandrite from major HREE deposits. Almost 100 % HREE from the insoluble minerals showing low crystallinity were leached. In this study, we presented characteristics of insoluble minerals suitable for HREE resources by using their simple crystallinity evaluation.
