The specification discloses a process for removing radionuclides from zircon. The process involves thermally decomposing the zircon in the presence of suitable additives, extracting the radionuclides chemically and recovering zirconia and silica. Suit- able additives include fluxes, silica and any oxide capable of forming a silicate with silica when heated. Chemical treatments dis- closed include leaching with mineral acids and strong organic. acids. Methods of stabilizing the radionuclides extracted by leach- ing are also disclosed. One method involves spray roasting. Another method involves neutralization of leach liquor and recovery of radionuclide solids by filtration or other suitable liquid/solid separation techniques.
