Analysis of Radionuclide Partitioning at Various Stages of Processing of Ilmenite Ore Using HPGe Gamma-Ray Spectrometry
This paper discusses the natural radioactivity levels in ilmenite ore and its final product. Two economically viable ores of titanium are ilmenite (FeO.TiO2) and rutile (TiO2). High-purity germanium (HPGe) detector was used to analyse samples of raw ore, its purified fraction and the final product (synthetic rutile). Radioactivity levels due to 238U and 232Th and its daughter products were estimated. The concentration of 238U and 232Th in raw ore, purified ore and synthetic rutile was found to be 204 ± 4 and 1208 ± 5, 89.0 ± 4 and 597.0 ± 4, 119 ± 2.5 and 398.0 ± 3 Bq/kg, respectively. The dose rates due to gamma photons estimated in raw ore and synthetic rutile were 572 nSv/h and 277 nSv/h, respectively. The activity index estimated was 5.3 for raw ore and 2.3 for final product (synthetic rutile). The final product contained only 25% of the radioactivity compared to the ore showing significant reduction in radioactivity due to the processing of the ore.
