摘要
The paper presents the results of the dissolution characteristics of Ra-226 from phosphogypsum, a by-product from phosphate fertilizer industries. Leachability of Ra-226 in distilled water and rainwater have been examined under different leaching conditions such as contact time, solid:liquid ratio and simulating natural conditions. The concentration of Ra-226 activity in the leachates ranged from 0.07 to 0.53 Bq l(-1). Study indicated that leaching of radium may be slow in field conditions near the phosphogypsum stock piles.
