Survey of Processing Methods for the Production of Thorium Metal from Monazite Sand and Thorium Nitrate (open access)

Survey of Processing Methods for the Production of Thorium Metal from Monazite Sand and Thorium Nitrate

Cost estimates for two types of Th producing plants are offered. One utilizes Th(NO3)4 as raw material, the other uses monazite sand. Final processing schemes and plant designs are not fixed, so the estimates represent maximum costs. Recommendations for research and development of Th producing methods are given.
