Thorium determination in water samples by liquid scintillation counting after its separation by cloud point extraction
(2011)The aim of this study is the separation and pre-concentration of thorium from aqueous solutions by cloud point extraction (CPE) and its the radiometric determination by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). For CPE, tributyl ...
