Recovery of uranium-233 from a thorium breeding blanket by pyrochemical techniques [PDF]
We have carefully evaluated several processes that might be suitable for uranium recovery from thorium metal, and have chosen two that hold great promise. Both are simple non-aqueous methods that can readily be performed by remote means, and both require only a few simple process steps.

A Survey on Various Methods of Extraction and Recovery of Thorium
In this survey, some methods of extraction of thorium such as selective extraction of thorium using phosphorodiamidate, selective cloud point extraction of thorium, extraction of thorium from sulfuric acid baking and leaching of monazite, extraction of thorium from chloride solution using Schiff base were discussed.

Evaluation of the acid leaching technique for recovery of U3O8 and ThO2 in niobium/tantalum slag
This study presented the recovery of uranium oxide and thorium oxide from aluminothermic slag from the metallurgical processing of columbite – a niobium/tantalum mineral with the presence of U3O8 and ThO2 – from a mining-industrial facility.

Recovery of Thorium by High-Capacity Biopolymeric Sorbent
The potential of prepared alginate biopolymers as a natural, economic, effective, non-toxic biosorbent was investigated for the recovery of thorium ions in this study. The experiments were carried out to study the effects of various physico-chemical parameters on biosorption and desorption of thorium.

Thorium Between Removing, Recovery and Recycling: A Membrane Challenge for Urban Mining
Although a slightly radioactive element, thorium is considered very toxic because its various species, which reach the environment, can constitute an important problem for the health of the population. The present paper aims to expand the possibilities of using membrane processes in the removal, recovery and recycling of thorium from industrial ...

Search for time modulations in the decay rate of 40K and 232Th [PDF]
Time modulations at per mil level have been reported to take place in the decay constant of about 15 nuclei with period of one year (most cases) but also of about one month or one day.
