A Review on Environmental aspects of geothermal energ
New energy technologies, along with the benefits, are associated with challenges and Difficulties. Geothermal energy as one of the renewable energies is a clean and sustainable energy source, yet its development still has some impact on the environment such as: greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, surface and groundwater contamination, subsidence, and seismicity. This paper provides a bri...
متن کاملEmanation of Radon from Solid Samples
This report presents a brief review as well as some theoretical background on radon (^Rn) emanation methods from solid samples. This is followed by a description of an experimental apparatus built at the Elliot Lake Laboratory. (Mining Research Laboratory. CANMET, E.M.R.) to measure the ^Rn emanation rate from ^Ra-bearing solid materials by the vacuum emanation method. Experimental data are pre...
متن کاملEffects of heating on the emanation rates of radon-222 from a suite of natural minerals.
The emanating power of radon provides information on the internal structure of a mineral and the radiation damage caused by the decay of 238U, 235U and 232Th (and their daughters) that are present in the mineral. The concentration of 222Rn in groundwater is primarily controlled by the concentration of U and Th in the underlying rocks, as well as the emanation coefficient for that particular roc...
متن کاملDifferences of natural radioactivity and radon emanation fraction among constituent minerals of rock or soil.
We examined differences in the radioactive characteristics among the main minerals forming granite materials. Using a non-toxic high-density agent, minerals were separated from rock (granite-gneiss) and soil (weathered granite) samples. The natural radioactivity ((238)U and (226)Ra) and radon emanation fraction of the minerals were then studied by gamma-ray spectrometry. The radon emanation fra...
متن کاملLead isotopes in environmental sciences: a review.
Lead (Pb) isotopic analyses proved to be a very efficient tool for tracing the sources of local and global Pb pollution. This review presents an overview of literature published on the use of Pb isotopic analyses of different environmental matrices (atmospheric aerosols, lichens, tree rings, peat deposits, lake, stream, marine sediments, soils, etc.). In order to gain more insight, the isotopic...
