1.A stepwise carbochlorination-chemical vapor transport(SC-CVT) technique is proposed for separation of thorium from mixed bastnaesite-monazite concentrate.
2.But an unexpected fact was noted: certain minerals( pitchblende, chalcolite, autunite) had a greater activity than might be expected on the basis of their uranium or thorium content.
10.Her studies on uranium and thorium led her to deduce that the radiation they emitted was not due to interactions with other elements but was an inherent property of the elements themselves.
11.So for example, if that uranium atom is at an excited state when it decays in to thorium, it can simultaneous release gamma waves as well as the alpha particle I already mentioned.
12.The Earth's Inner Furnace Earth's internal heat originates from two primary sources: residual heat from the planet's formation around 4.5 billion years ago and heat produced by the decay of radioactive elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium.
13." It was one of these oddball places that just stood out like a sore thumb in terms of the thorium abundance, " said Dr. Lawrence, now a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.
