Coal ash determination by natural gamma ray measurement

Description

Lignite from a few seams of Mae Moh Mine, Lampang normally consisted of ash content between 5-60 percent in weight. Alternate analysis of ash was shown that there are more than 40 elements including radioactive elements, i.e. Potassium-40, Uranium and Thorium series in ash. Gamma shielding for 3'' x 3'' NaI(Tl) detectors for the measurement of natural gamma ray of Lignite was developed. The results of the gamma ray activity varied with ash content in Lignite with correlation coefficient of 0.97. This radiometric instrumentation was the easy and effective method. This method can be applied for online measurements of coal ash
