Continuous depletion in tin productions has led to a newly emerging industry that is a tin by-product (amang) processing industry to harness mega tons of tin by-products produced in the past.Amang composed of profitable multi-heavy minerals and rare-earth elements. With poorly established safety and health practices in operating …

Both the former REE and current ilmenite processing plants have processed locally-mined amang.The amang contains not only monazite and ilmenite, but also other heavy minerals such as cassiterite (SnO 2), zircon (ZrSiO 4), xenotime, rutile (TiO 2), quartz (SiO 2), as well as pyrite (FeS 2) (Omar et al., 2007).Although the current plant is …

Measurements of external radiation level, radon/thoron daughters concentrations in air and uranium/thorium concentrations in airborne mineral dust at 16 amang plants in Malaysia were carried out for three consecutive months to assess radiation dose to workers. Estimated occupational dose was within the range of 1.7-10.9 mSv y(-1).

1.. IntroductionAn amang (tin tailing) processing plant located in Dengkil, Selangor, Malaysia has been in operation for more than 16 years. This plant, with an area of 40,000 m 2, consists of a processing plant building, open area used to heap unprocessed and semi-processed amang and a large pond providing water for use in the …

Tin tailing, locally known in Malaysia as Amang, is the by-product of tin ore mineral acquisition, processing, and refinery. Hence, the focus was redirected in processing these residues, whereby valuable heavy minerals of Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (TENORM) were extracted ( Alnour et al., 2017 …
Malaysia is one of the major world's tin producing countries. Besides tin, tin mining also produces amang or tin tailing, a by product of rough concentrate of cassiterite. Amang, from tin mining industry is ... Two amang processing plants, one each from the states of Selangor and Perak, Malaysia were chosen for this study. Both plants employ ...
It was found that the average concentration of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰ K for all seven processing plants fell between the range of 0.1 ± 0.0–7.21 ± 0.1 Bqg⁻¹, 0.1 ± 0.0–16.34 ± ...
Gross alpha and gross beta activities were determined for mineral samples collected from five amang tailing factories. The measured activity of alpha ranged from 31 to 220,000 Bq kg−1 with an average 9,154 Bq kg−1, whereas for beta activity ranged from 9 to 552,000 Bq kg−1 with an average 19,811 Bq kg−1. The higher gross alpha and gross …

A study was carried out to assess the radiological risk associated with amang processing and the accumulated effluent in the recycling ponds. Twenty-six sediment samples from the recycling ponds of two amang plants in the states of Selangor and Perak, Malaysia, were collected and analyzed.
The mean total dose from three modes of concentrates are the main product of amang plants, exposures was 4.3 mSv y, with the highest value of but when the …

Amang Processing Plants Malaysia 2015. 17.05.2007· As amang plants usually have quite good natural ventilation, the concentrations of mineral dust and radon/thoron daughters in air are expected to be diluted to a certain extent. Amang plants are generally small with the mean number of worker of 12 persons per plant. Amang processing …

In 1991, the Atomic Energy Licensing Board of Malaysia (AELB) reported results from a survey conducted on 29 amang plants. Using data from inhalation of airborne radioactive dust, radon and thoron progeny, and external radiation, the AELB concluded that the total dose received by workers were in excess of 5 mSv (AELB, 1991).
The ilmenite processing plant in Malaysia is run by a huge company whose initial set-up and routine operation is continuously being monitored by the AELB under the Atomic Energy Licensing Act, 1984. Exposure to radioactive dust and external radiation is greatly reduced. On the contrary, the amang-processing plants are largely backyard or …
The measurements of absorbed dose rate in air around amang plant buildings were carried out using a scintillation detector. It was found that the mean radiation levels at seven amang plants were in the range of 1.6 – 5.5 µGy h -1 . The individual maximum value measured was 56 µGy h -1 . The annual dose to a worker transporting the minerals to …
