DetailsThe separated zircon assemblages were examined by a polarizing petrographic microscope and X-ray diffraction techniques and found that it contained more than 75% pure zircon. Thereafter, uranium and thorium concentrations in zircon were measured by NAA and revealed that zircon contained 94-141 ppm uranium and 127-506 ppm thorium.
DetailsThis sand contains varying concentrations of natural radionuclides: mostly U-238 but also Th-232 and U-235, together with their daughters, and therefore may need to be regulated by Directive 96/29/EURATOM. This paper describes the method used to perform the radiological study on a zircon sand milling plant and presents the results obtained.
DetailsZircon is a zirconium silicate mineral found in small quantities in many rocks. It can be a variety of colours and some crystals are of gemstone quality. Zircon is sometimes confused with the metal zirconium, the zirconium oxide called zirconia, and cubic zirconia, a synthetic gemstone with an appearance that is very similar to diamond.
DetailsThorium is a weakly radioactive metallic chemical element with ... Monazite is a chemically unreactive mineral that is found as yellow or brown sand; its low reactivity makes it difficult to extract thorium from it. Allanite (chiefly silicates-hydroxides of various metals) can have 0.1–2% thorium and zircon (chiefly zirconium silicate, ZrSiO ...
DetailsMonazite is a chemically unreactive mineral that is found as yellow or brown sand; its low reactivity makes it difficult to extract thorium from it. Allanite (chiefly silicates-hydroxides of various metals) can have 0.1–2% thorium and zircon (chiefly zirconium silicate, ZrSiO 4) up to 0.4% thorium.

DetailsSep 28, 2018· Zircon sand plays an important role in the ceramic industry. The presence of the long-lived radionuclides of uranium and thorium in the zircon sand means this material should be considered as NORM and therefore it is necessary to determine the makeup of the radionuclides present and their activity concentration. In this paper, a simple method …
DetailsAlmost half of the zircon produced globally is consumed by China, with other significant consuming regions including Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and India. The main use of zircon sand is its conversion into flour, opacifier, fused zirconia, zirconium chemicals, chemical zirconia and zirconium metal. Zircon sand is directly used in foundry …
