Is thorium found in yellow sand?
Thorium is typically found only in dark-colored heavy-mineral sands. Mineral bearing sand is classified by specific gravity as either light or heavy, with heavy mineral sands having a specific gravity of greater than 2.9. Many of the heavy mineral sands are dark colored and include ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, sphene, and garnet. Thorium is found primarily in the heavy mineral. monazite, which is ofter yellowish-brown or greenish- brown. A minor amount of thorium may also be in the heavy mineral, zircon, which is often white of yellowish in color. Because monazite and zircon are heavy minerals and are generally less abundant than ilmenite in a deposit, they are typically found in the zones of dark or black colored minerals. It is possible for thorium-bearing minerals to be distributed throughout a light-colored sand.
What are the differences between sand and mineral sand?
Regular beach sand is silica - mineral sand is like fine grained quartz.
What is ytterbium obtained from?
Ytterbium is obtained from mineral ores such as xenotime and monazite. These ores contain ytterbium in small concentrations, which can be extracted through a process of chemical separation and purification.
What is the name of thorium ore?
Some thorium ores are monazite, thorianite, thorite.
Which mineral when in the form of sand can be used to manfuractue glass?
Silica is the mineral that is commonly used in the form of sand to manufacture glass. Silica sand is melted down at high temperatures to form glass.
Is uranium found in the monazite sand of kerala?
No it is not found . Monazite sand usually contains thorium.
Which one minerals is contained in the monazite sand of kerala?
thorium
When or if eventually Thorium emerges as important nuclear fuel will be possible and commercially just to mine monazite from rocks not from sands Thank you?
Monazite sand is far more common than large monazite rocks and large beds of monazite don't exist. Not all monazite contains thorium.

Which minerals contained in the monazite sands?
Strange question as Monazite is a mineral.If the question was, "which elements compose monazite", it could be possible to answer, Th, REE (Ce, Ln, Y.....) and P.If he question was, " which mineral do we usually find together with monazite", it could be possibe to answer , Ilmenite, Rutile & Zircon
How much does monazite sand cost per ton?
The Price of monazite sand varies based on its constituents, especially the percentage of Thorium and Cerium. For example, with a Thorium content of between 0.5% and 3%, Monazite sands can cost between $8 to $12 per gram from many African Countries.
