Tailoring of thermoluminescent properties and assessment of trapping parameters of natural fluorite samples from Dogargaon fluorite mines, India.

Mineral fluorite or fluorspar (CaF ) can host significant quantities of trivalent REE (rare earth element) by substitution with divalent Ca . The fluorites associated with carbonatites are often REE-rich compared to those derived from sedimentary, hydrothermal, or Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) fluorites. The naturally occurring fluorites have several industrial applications one of which is for luminescence.

Investigation of thermoluminescence response and trapping parameters of natural barite samples from Dongargaon mine, India.

Dosimetry is a technique that quantitatively measures the ionizing radiation absorbed by matter. The present study was conducted on the barites from a mine at Dongargaon in Central India. Morphological and structural analysis of proposed sample was carried out using X-ray diffraction and standard error of the mean.
