Analysis of Environmental Radiation Level and Change Trend of a Typical Zirconium Silicate Associated Mine Area

  • 摘要: 为研究硅酸锆类型伴生矿企业环境辐射水平和变化趋势,2020—2023年对广州市某典型硅酸锆企业厂区及周围开展了环境地表γ剂量率和土壤中天然放射性含量监测工作。结果表明,2020—2023年该企业环境地表γ剂量率范围为83~206 nGy/h,土壤中天然放射性铀含量范围为2.95~24.2μg/g,钍含量范围为27.3~103μg/g,镭-226含量范围为39.8~134.06 Bq/kg,均高于20世纪80年代水平;厂房四周环境地表γ剂量率呈下降趋势,最大落地浓度区域附近较低;厂房附近土壤中天然放射性钍和铀含量较低,总体看,地势总体呈现北高南低,而土壤中天然放射性钍和铀含量呈现南高北低的特征;土壤中天然放射性镭-226含量呈现厂区向四周递降趋势,北部地势高的地方递减速度大,南部地势平坦地方递减速度小的规律。

     

    Abstract: In order to study the environmental radiation level and change trend of zirconium silicate associated mining enterprises, the environmental surface γ dose rate and natural radioactivity content in the soil were monitored in and around the plant area of a typical zirconium silicate enterprise in Guangzhou from 2020 to 2023. The results showed that from 2020 to 2023, the environmental surface γ dose rate of the enterprise ranged from 83~206 nGy/h, the natural radioactive uranium content in the soil ranged from 2.95~24.2 ug/g, the thorium content ranged from 27.3~103 μg/g, and the radium-226 content ranged from 39.8~134.06 Bq/kg, all of which were higher than the level in the 80s of the 20 th century. The dose rate of surface γ in the surrounding environment of the plant showed a downward trend, and the area near the maximum landing concentration area was low. The content of natural radioactive thorium and uranium in the soil near the plant was low, and the terrain was generally high in the north and low in the south, while the content of natural radioactive thorium and uranium in the soil was high in the south and low in the north. The content of natural radioactive radium-226 in the soil showed a decreasing trend in the plant area, with a large decreasing rate in the northern part of the country and a small rate in the flat terrain in the south. It was recommended to use a complete set of production equipment with high airtightness to reduce the escape and generation of dust and reduce the impact of radioactivity on the surrounding environment.
