Production of high purity thorium oxide from complex ores leach liquor
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021 This paper investigates a method for separation and purification of thorium from leach liquors containing rare-earth elements (REE). Iron, which causes problems in the stage of thorium extracting, was first removed by using ...

Conceptual potential of a pyroelectrochemical technology for the thorium engagement in the fast neutron fuel cycle [PDF]
Nuclear Energy and Technology, 2019 The use of thorium in combination with plutonium in nuclear power generation offers a solution to the problem of reducing the accumulation of long-lived transplutonium nuclides. Along with this, the existing uranium fuel cycle (UFC) has such disadvantage

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 km<sup>2</sup>) up to a fourth-order ...
