Google is your friend...

I have searched it on Google but not understood it (simply and deeply). Thanks.

Can you post a couple links to the reading that you've been doing? We can try to help you understand the information if we see what you've been reading. Thanks.

 

[Flexwheeler]

One link is http:www.britannica.com/technology/thorium-processing

 

[berkeman]

That seems to be a good link, with information about where the ores are and how they are mined. Are there parts of the article that you are not understanding?

 

[Flexwheeler]

I practically do not understand any of it. I am a novice, perhaps you could explain it simply. Thanks.

 

[berkeman]

Do you know how any ores are mined and processed? It seems like a more general question than just with respect to Thorium, no?

 

[Flexwheeler]

It is because I want to know especially thorium extraction but also other element isotopes extraction.

I'm having a hard time distinguishing your question from "please tell me everything about mining and isotope separation". Can you explain what you want? You will probably need more than a sentence.

This thread can't really go forward with such a broad question.

@Flexwheeler -- after you do more reading on your own, if you still have a specific question or two about that reading, please send me a message and we can try to re-open this thread for you. Until then, this thread is closed.
