Discussion

Analysis reveals physicochemical properties and radioactivity levels in monazite ore, indicating its potential for nuclear applications.

Monazite ore shows high-quality physicochemical properties, supporting its potential as a thorium source for nuclear applications.
Thorium concentration in the monazite ore was determined to be 4.68%, highlighting its suitability for further processing.
Radioactivity measurement indicated a level of 3.65μS/hr in the ore, which is significant for assessing its nuclear fuel potential.
Quality parameters such as pH, moisture content, and loss of mass on ignition were analyzed to prepare the ore for extraction.

Okoh et al. (2025) studied this question.
