Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Uraniferous Supergene Minerals; CARACTERISTIQUES PHYSICO-CHIMIQUES DES MINERAUX URANIFERES SUPERGENES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4129469

Transport and deposit conditions of uraniferous minerals are breifly described. The synthesis of crystallograpic, physical, optical, and thermal properties permits defining the main characteristics of this mineralogical group. Tables to facilicate identification of the supergene uranium minerals are given on investigation by anion and cation; system, cleavages, cell parameters, interplanar spacings, refractive indices, optical barings; classification by decreasing values of the most intense line of the powder diagram; diagram for the three higher interplanar spacings; and diagram of the refractive indices.
