Correlation of uranium, thorium, and potassium with

There is a general direct correlation of high radioactivity with increase in radioelement concentrations. Abundances of uranium and particularly thorium in the quartz monzonite are two and three times the average for rocks of this type; a comparison is made with other granitic rocks high in uranium and thorium.

Thorium and uranium concentrations and isotope ratios

Abstract Sediments from five rivers in the eastern and southern United States have been divided into several size fractions and analyzed for thorium and uranium isotope concentrations. The 238 U decay series exhibits disequilibrium as a result of weathering.The 234 U/ 238 U activity ratio is less than unity in sediment derived from well-leached soils and greater than unity in sediment Get price

Determination of uranium and thorium in geological

The uranium and thorium concentrations and the 234 U/ 238 U and 230 Th/ 234 U activity ratio values determined for the reference materials were in good agreement with the certified values. The presence of plutonium was found to interfere with the separation, but the inclusion of a reduction step using iron( II ) sulfamate eliminated the problem. Get price

Uranium, thorium and rare earth elements in macrofungi:

Concentrations of uranium and thorium were generally below 30 and 125 μg kg(-1) (dry weight), respectively. Concentrations of REE in macrofungi did not exceed 360 μg kg(-1) (dry weight) and their distribution more or less followed the trend observed in post-Archean shales and loess. Get price

Thorium

Uranium ore deposits are economically recoverable concentrations of uranium within the Earth's crust. Uranium is one of the more common elements in the Earth's crust, being 40 times more common than silver and 500 times more common than gold.[1] It can be found almost everywhere in rock, soil, rivers, and oceans.[2] The challenge for Get price
