Thorium-230 has many research applications, but there is not a commercial source of this isotope. However, since 230Th is part of the 238U decay chain, it can be separated from naturally occurring uranium. In this work, a novel procedure was developed to separate thorium from uranium ore, consisting of leaching, liquid–liquid extraction, …
