AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MINERALOGY, PETROGRAPHY, AND PALEOBOTANY OF URANIUM- BEARING LIGNITES. Analyses of Lignite Samples

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4070040
;
Data from analyses of 669 lignite, clay, and carbonaceous samples from North and South Dakota, California, Utah, and New Mexico are presented. The geographic location and geologic age of the samples are given. Uranium was determined by fluorimetric methods and iron by x-ray fluorescence measurements. Chemical determinations were made of C, H/sub 2/O, Ash, S, Al, Ca, Mg, Si, P, Na, and K. The trace elements were determined by emission spectroscopy. Equivalent uranium was determined by counting a half-gram sample of ashed lignite for 10 min. on a scintillation counter. (M.C.G.)
