摘要: High-uranium phosphate rock from Itataia, Brazil, was milled for wet-process phosphoric acid production using the dihydrate method. Uranium contained in recovered by solvent extraction. The distribution of long-lived natural radionuclides 238U and 232Th decay series involved these operations evaluated. 226Ra, 228Ra 210Pb were found to predominate phosphogypsum, while 228Th, 230Th uranium-free acid. Thorium is removed extraction produce a NORM-free
