The melting temperatures of monazite- and xenotime-type RPO{sub 4} (R = rare-earth elements) are about 2000{degrees} C or higher in air. These properties may make the rare-earth orthophosphates attractive new materials for high-temperature applications. There have been few systematic studies on the preparation conditions and thermal changes of the rare-earth orthophosphates. This paper, discusses the mechanochemical changes of weinschenkite-type RPO{sub 4} {center dot} 2H{sub 2}O (R = Dy, Y, Er, or Yb) at room temperature and the thermal reactions of the new rhabdophane-type YPO{sub 4} {center dot} 0.8H{sub 2}O and ErPO{sub 4} {center dot} 0.9H{sub 2}O at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1800{degrees} C in air.
