The primary rare earth minerals processed commercially are bastnäsite, monazite, and xenotime. One of the primary separation techniques used to beneficiate rare earth minerals is froth flotation because it allows the processing of a relatively wide range of fine particle sizes, can be tailored to the unique mineralogy of a specific deposit and has been successfully used in multiple locations.
