S>A preliminary study of dispersing agents for thorium oxide was completed and several of the dispersants have possible uses. Also many of the industrial dispersing agents tested are not usable with thorium oxide due to induced behavior causing balling and caking. The effects of nitric acid concentration were observed to also effect each dispersing agent. (auth
