Synergistic damage behavior of He ion irradiation and molten salt corrosion in SiC at 750 °C

Journal of Advanced Ceramics
CVD SiC samples exposed to 400 keV He ion irradiation at 750 °C were subsequently corroded in FLiNaK molten salt at 750 °C for 166 h. After corrosion, the dissolution of Si led to the formation of a carbon-rich layer and obvious denudation of the SiC ...

Thorium Removal, Recovery and Recycling: A Membrane Challenge for Urban Mining

Membranes, 2023
Although only a slightly radioactive element, thorium is considered extremely toxic because its various species, which reach the environment, can constitute an important problem for the health of the population.

Thorium and fetal neural tube defects: an epidemiological evidence from large case-control study

Genes and Environment, 2021
Background Thorium is ubiquitous in the environment and its relationship with birth defects is still under discussion. This study aimed to investigate the associations of maternal exposure to thorium with risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) by using a ...

Thermal transport in thorium dioxide

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018
In this research paper, the thermal transport in thorium dioxide is investigated by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. The thermal conductivity of bulk thorium dioxide was measured to be 20.8 W/m-K, confirming reported values, and the phonon mean ...
