The invention discloses a method for detecting the
activity concentration of 238U and 232Th in
trona ore, and belongs to the technical field of inspection and detection. Comprising the following steps: S1,
sample processing;
grinding the
trona ore at the temperature of less than 50 DEG C until the particle size is less than 100 meshes,
drying, and immediately sealing and storing; s2, sample
digestion; the method comprises the following steps:
wetting a sample with water, dropwise adding
hydrochloric acid until a violent reaction is stopped, evaporating to
dryness, sequentially adding concentrated
hydrochloric acid, concentrated
nitric acid,
hydrofluoric acid and
perchloric acid, carrying out stepped heating
dissolution and acid removal, and finally extracting with
nitric acid to a constant volume; s3, measuring the
mass concentration of the solution by a
mass spectrometry method; measuring the
mass concentration of 238U and 232Th in the solution by adopting
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and taking Re as an on-line
internal standard; s4, calculating a result; and obtaining the
activity concentration of the natural radionuclides 238U and 232Th in the measured
trona ore through the mass-activity relation coefficient of the radionuclides.
