Abstract:
      This paper mainly studies the pre-enrichment experiment of X-fluorescence to Th. The rich thorium ore enriched by X-fluorescent pickers was analyzed by XRD, scanning electron mirrors and hand-held X-ray for process mineralogy, and the accuracy of X-fluorescent identification of thorium was determined, and the radon elements were generally deposited in rare earth minerals, such as fluorocarbon palladium, living alone, and found that x-fluorescent can be enriched with the independent mineral "iron thorium". Then the use of energy dispersion X-ray fluorescent ore sorter selection, the threshold of 0.3 picked the grade of radon-containing minerals increased by 2.34 times, the recovery rate of radon reached 18%, and determined the correspondence between the threshold and grade, to determine the threshold of 0.4 time selection effect is the best. This not only directly reduces the radioactivity of the ore entering the selection process, but also provides pre-enrichment technology for the purification of radon.
