  Determination of uranium, thorium and rare-earth elements in zircon ...

  20111110 · Zircon is an accessory mineral, which occurs at low concentrations in a wide variety of rocks and is a host for hafnium, rare-earth elements (REE) and radio active elements like uranium and thorium. The presence of uranium in zircon has led to its increased use in the age determination of rocks. Zirconium is also considered as a …

  Titanium (IV), Zirconium, Hafnium and Thorium - Wiley …

  2016318 · All isotopes of thorium are radioactive and, as a consequence of it being fertile, thorium is important in the nuclear fuel cycle. The polymeric hydrolysis species that have been reported for thorium are somewhat different to those identified for zirconium and hafnium, although thorium does form the Th 4 (OH) 8 8+ species.

  2011429 · Chemical Analysis of Zircon. Figure 1. The five zircon samples used in this study, ranging in size from 0.56–21.92 ct, were analyzed for radioactive degradation of their crystal structure. Radioactive elements such as thorium and uranium existed at higher concentrations during earlier ages of the earth; crystal formations from these periods ...

  Determination of thorium and uranium in mineral sands by …

  1994610 · Abstract. Thorium and uranium can be determined by ion chromatography using a C 18 reversed-phase column and a complexing eluent of hydroxyisobutyric acid followed by post-column derivatization with Arsenazo III and detection at 658 nm. A number of sample dissolution and clean-up procedures were evaluated in order to permit the …

  Occupational exposure to natural radioactivity in a zircon sand …

  This sand contains varying concentrations of natural radionuclides: mostly U-238 but also Th-232 and U-235, together with their daughters, and therefore may need to be regulated by Directive 96/29/EURATOM. This paper describes the method used to perform the radiological study on a zircon sand milling plant and presents the results obtained.
