Radon emanation coefficient study of a geological sample [PDF]
The radon atom can escape from the material it was formed in by direct recoil or by diffusion. It then enters either an inter or intra-granular space. Next, the radon atom can migrate by diffusion or convection in order to reach the atmosphere. The emanation coefficient is defined as the ratio between the number of radon atoms that escape from the ...

A method for emanation coefficient measurements of 222Rn and 220Rn from soils
Abstract A new method to determine emanation coefficient of 222Rn and 220Rn from soil samples is presented. The aim of the present work is to obtain a useful, rapid and noise free method to make soil sample measurements. The method is based on the measurements of specific activities of 220Rn and 222Rn in a sealed chamber using α-spectrometry and on ...

ESTIMATION OF RADON EMANATION COEFFICIENT FOR REPRESENTATIVE SOILS IN OKINAWA, JAPAN
Radon (222Rn) emanation coefficients for the representative soils distributed in Okinawa Island, Japan, have been estimated empirically. Arithmetic means of the emanation coefficients for dry and moist conditions were calculated to be 0.19 and 0.29, respectively.

Influence of various factors on the value of thoron emanation coefficient [PDF]
AbstractThe “powder sandwich” method was adapted to the measuring equipment at the Laboratory of Radiometric Expertise, IFJ PAN (Kraków, Poland). The versatility of the method has been confirmed. The values of thoron emanation coefficients (f) for 16 materials have been determined. It has been found that the value of thoron emanation coefficient is not

Determination of radon emanation for phosphogypsum produced in Serbia [PDF]
Phosphogypsum is a waste that is generated in the production of fertilizers and is very similar to the natural gypsum, thus its use in the construction industry is possible. It usually contains an increased concentration of 226Ra in its composition.
