Abstract Chemical Studies on some Radionuclides in Industrial Waste” In this thesis, there is much concern about the technologically enhancednaturally occurnng radioactive materials (TE-NORM) associated with phosp hate fertilizers and chemical materials production in Abu Zaabal Company, Egypt. The phosphogypsum (PG) wastes associated with the phosphoric acid produced was found to contain high concentrations of radioactivity than that exists naturally (Le., background). The present work carried out in this thesis, is classified into three main chapters. These are presented as follows. Chapter-i, Introduction: This chapter includes sufficient information about the different sources of the environmental radioactivities as well as TE-NORJvJ associated with phosphate fertilizers and oil and gas production facilities. It includes also, information about the history, methods used in detection and measurements, limits, trials of TE-NORM treatment. It cuntains some aspects on the chemistry and radiochemistry of radium and radon. Also, this chapter includes the aim of the present work. Chapter-2, Experimental: This chapter includes preparation of all required samples for analysis, as well as chemicals and reagents used in the experimental work. It includes also, description of the different spectroscopic instruments used, which are: HPGe ‘y- ray spectrometry, c~ -spectrometry, X —ray diffraction (XRD), X —ray fluorescence (XRF), and IR-spectrometry. The energy and efficiency calibrations of both y and a. -spectrometry are also presented |
