Jun 01, 2020 Application of the cross-flow ultrafiltration technique to the study of colloidal uranium, thorium, radium isotopes and organic carbon in seawater J Acta Oceanol. Sin. , 5 ( 2000 ) , p.
Uranium, Radium, and Thorium Uranium, radium, and thorium occur in three natural decay series, headed by uranium-238, thorium-232, and uranium-235, respectively. In nature, the radionuclides in these three series are approximately in a state of secular equilibrium, in which the activities of all radionuclides within each series are nearly equal.
The precipitate, containing the thorium, was collected by filtration through 0.45-lm membranes and stored for subsequent analysis.Measurement of the colloidal thorium component was carried out on a set of six (microfiltered) water samples by tangential-flow ultrafiltration using polysulphone membrane cassettes with NMWCs of 10 kDa.
The samples also were analyzed for concentrations of uranium-234, -235, and -238 to determine whether uranium-234 isotope enrichment (resulting from industrial processing) is present. A subset of samples was analyzed for concentrations of thorium-232, -230, and -228 to determine if thorium-228 isotope enrichment, also likely to result from ...
Uranium and thorium content in heavy fuel oil were also measured for the first time. For quality control of the analytical data, three internal reference materials were prepared and used. View
The thorium fuel cycle is an alternative to uranium-plutonium. Thorium is widespread in the Earths crust and is known to occur in economically accessible deposits in many locations. Natural thorium is made up entirely of the isotope Th-232, which is fertile, but not fissile.

Many of the minerals listed arehighly variable in composition, some ...
Beginning with naturally occurring uranium-238, this series includes the following elements astatine, bismuth, lead, polonium, protactinium, radium, radon, thallium and thorium. All are present, at least transiently, in any natural uranium-containing sample, whether metal, compound, or mineral. The series terminates with lead-206.
Mar 01, 2009 PUREX and THOREX processes aim at complete recovery of uranium, plutonium and thorium from fission products present in the spent nuclear fuel of the reactor. In these processes, a mixture of 5% to 40% TBP- n -dodecane (hydrocarbon diluent) is used for coextraction of uranium, thorium and plutonium leaving behind a number of radioactive fission ...

The objective of this study was to establish a delayed air sampling method to verify the integrity of an existing HEPA filter system in a ventilated fume hood. (238U,232Th)O2 microspheres were generated to fabricate cement nuclear fuel pellets in a HEPA-filtered hood. To comply with the air effluent
Dec 31, 1994 The use of seeded ultrafiltration for the treatment of radioactive waste streams arising from the nuclear industry has demonstrated its high potential as an efficient process for the removal of radionuclides present in the radwaste streams. The experimental data on
Aug 31, 2014 The effect of chloride ion on percentage removal of uranium and thorium is shown in Fig. 9. In UF, the initial increase in percentage removal of uranium (up to 0.5 mM NaCl) is due to the formation of species such as UO 2 Cl and UO 2 (OH)Cl 36, 37 followed by their adsorption on the membrane surface. With further increase in concentration of NaCl, the percentage removal of U(VI) is

Oct 30, 2007 Abstract. While uranium (U) in natural waters is very soluble and highly mobile as U (VI), a colloidal, ultrafilterable, form of U was, at times, reported to be important. Laboratory experiments were thus carried out to examine the behavior of dissolved U during ultrafiltration (1 kDa, Amicon S10Y1) of both natural (containing colloids) and spiked artificial river waters (containing no colloids).
Jan 01, 2015 Studies on removal of U(VI) and Th(IV) from aqueous solution have been carried out by ultrafiltration (UF) and dendrimer assisted ultrafiltration (DAUF) using regenerated cellulose acetate membrane and PAMAM (poly(amido)amine) dendrimer chelating agent.
Thorium and uranium reactors use different fission reactions, which means the reactions have different products and properties. Uranium reactors use uranium-235 as their fissile fuel, as well as the plutonium-239 that is produced from the uranium-238 that is also present in the fuel, and this reaction produces enough neutrons to perpetuate the ...
The uranium and thorium adsorption on BCD was studied as a function of initial concentration, weight of BCD, pH, shaking time and temperature. ... 34,35, and uranium ultrafiltration with a ...
the uranium-238 decay series. Thorium- 230 is typically present with its decay product radium-226, and it is therefore a health risk from gamma radiation from radium-226 decay products, lung exposure from radon-222 gas and its decay products, and inhalation and ingestion exposure.
Thorium composes 0.0006% of the earths crust whereas Uranium composes 0.00018% of earths crust, where a substantial amount of Uranium is found in dissolved sea water. The Thorium Energy Alliance estimates there is enough thorium in the United States alone to power the country at its current energy level for over 1,000 years.

Mar 22, 2021 Thorium, uranium, and plutonium all form suitable fluoride salts that readily dissolve in the LiF-BeF2 mixture, and thorium and uranium can be easily separated from one another in fluoride form, an enormous improvement over todays ceramic (oxide) fuels. Construction on the Shippingport reactor in western Pennsylvania began in the 1950s.

Oct 13, 2015 Key Difference Thorium vs Uranium Both Thorium and Uranium are two chemical elements from actinide group, which have radioactive properties and function as energy sources in nuclear power plants the key difference between Thorium and Uranium exists in their natural abundance. Thorium is three times more abundant than Uranium in the Earths crust.
The Burns group studies natural uranium and thorium minerals, and a broad range of materials that are synthesized, containing thorium, uranium, neptunium, or plutonium. The group uses many diffraction, scattering, and spectroscopic techniques to study actinides at various length scales.
Thorium oxide is used for high-temperature laboratory crucibles, it is added to glass to create glasses with an high refractive index and low dispersion (lenses for cameras and scientific instruments). Like uranium, thorium could be a source of nuclear fuel. Thorium can be burnt in a nuclear reactor, without generating plutonium.
