Th-230 belongs to an extremely toxic alpha nuclide with long half-life (T 1/2 =75200a), will exist in the environment for a long period. The prior researches find that Th-230/Th-232 can be used as a tracing factor of uranium pollution, and can better trace the periphery of uranium mining areasEnvironmental sources and levels of uranium contamination. Therefore, the method has high importance on tracing in the process and influence on the environment, and the enhancement of monitoring of Th-230 in the environmental water is particularly important for judging whether the environmental water is polluted by radionuclides, and grasping the pollution range, the severity and other information after the environmental water is polluted.

Therefore, the measurement of Th-230 activity concentration in wastewater is required.
At present, the chemical content of total Th is mainly measured in China, the focus on Th-230 is less, the analysis method of Th isotopes and related research are less, and related analysis methods and standards are not released temporarily in China and internationally (the draft of the American society for materials and experiments for testing and materials is being compiled for a novel test method for rapidly radiochemically measuring thorium isotopes in water, and the analysis method and standards are not released). With the importance of the national environmental protection, the requirements on a monitoring system are higher and higher, and a complete analysis method of Th-230 in wastewater is established by developing the research of the analysis method of Th-230 in wastewater, so that technical support is provided for the wastewater monitoring in the uranium mining metallurgy daily monitoring and retired environment remediation stage.
