Experimental studies of thorium ions implantation from pulse laser plasma into thin silicon oxide layers [PDF]

, 2017
We report the results of experimental studies related to implantation of thorium ions into thin silicon dioxide by pulsed plasma fluxes expansion. Thorium ions were generated by laser ablation from a metal target, and the ionic component of the laser ...

Ultra-effective modified clinoptilolite adsorbent for selective thorium removal from radioactive residue

Scientific Reports, 2023
This study investigated the efficacy of using phosphate-modified zeolite (PZ) as an adsorbent for removing thorium from aqueous solutions. The effects of various factors such as contact time, adsorbent mass, initial thorium concentration, and pH value of

Antineutrino Geophysics with Liquid Scintillator Detectors [PDF]

, 1997
Detecting the antineutrinos emitted by the decay of radioactive elements in the mantle and crust could provide a direct measurement of the total abundance of uranium and thorium in the Earth.

Landscape control of uranium and thorium in boreal streams – spatiotemporal variability and the role of wetlands [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2012
The concentrations of uranium and thorium in ten partly nested streams in the boreal forest region were monitored over a two-year period. The investigated catchments ranged from small headwaters (0.1 km²) up to a fourth-order ...
