Wasted petroleum, scale and sludge, samples associated with petroleum industries have elevated level of radionuclides concentrations which increase the radiation dose received to the workers. Radon concentration, emanation coefficient and exhalation rate give good information about the radioactivity levels.

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2001
In this paper we present a laboratory method for the determination of diffusion coefficient, D, as well as the 222Rn emanation fraction, f, in concrete core samples. It is based either on the analyses of the growth curves of the radon in the air volume surrounding a sample enclosed in an accumulation chamber (Lucas cell or RADIM device) or using the ...

Abstract It is important to study the behavior of recoiling radon atoms 222Rn after decay of parent 226Ra and the effect of parameters on their access to the surrounding medium. The present study was carried out using CR-39 detector to study the effect of grain size on the correlation between surface and mass exhalation rates and the ...

Radon Emanation Coefficients for Phosphogypsum
Health Physics, 1995Phosphogypsum is a by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry which is stockpiled in large quantities world-wide. Phosphogypsum consists mainly of dihydrate gypsum (CaSO42H2O) but also contains elevated concentrations of 226Ra and other inorganic species which originate from the processing of phosphate rock. 222Rn gas is the first decay product of

Emanation Coefficients for Rn in Sized Coal Fly Ash
Health Physics, 1985Emanation coefficients for 222Rn in sized samples of dry coal fly ash were evaluated as a function of source and particle size using a modification of the "sealed-can, gamma-only" technique. The emanation coefficient is defined as the fraction of Rn atoms that escape the solid particles of a source.

Estimation of radon emanation coefficient for representative soils in Okinawa, Japan
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2015Radon ((222)Rn) 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. In Okinawa, the soils are traditionally classified into three types, namely the dark red

Determination of the thoron emanation coefficient using a powder sandwich technique
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2018Thoron (220 Rn) is a natural radioactive gas, tasteless, odourless, colourless, undetectable without proper equipment. This gas is carcinogenic, just like radon (222 Rn) but due to the short half-life (55.6s) and a small amount in the environment, its share in the absorbed radiation dose is often neglected.

A study on 222Rn emanation coefficient and mass exhalation rate was carried out for different minerals having high specific gravity collected from a natural high background radiation area of India. The mass exhalation rate varied from 31 ± 0.5 to 2366 ± 36 mBq kg−1 h−1 and the radon emanation coefficient varied from 1.02 × 10−2 to 2.04 × 10−1.

A method for emanation coefficient measurements of 222Rn and 220Rn from soils
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 1997Abstract 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 ...

The escape rates of radon gas from rocks and minerals are of great relevance to many branches of geosciences, and it is, thus, important to understand the physical and mineralogical properties that control radon emanation rates. Mechanisms of radon loss from minerals have direct bearing on the reliability of U-Pb and U-Th-He geochronology.
