INVESTIGATION OF U-CONTENT OF THE MORE IMPORTANT COAL FIELDS OF HUNGARY (in Hungarian)
A. Szalay and A. Foldvari stated first in 1949 that some of the coal fields of the transdanubian part of Hungary showed an unexpected geochemical enrichment of U. A systematic investigation of the coal fields was made partly by radiometric means and partly by extended sampling and direct chemical analysis. Four coal fields are described: Ajka, Tatabanya,:(Mecsek Mountains, and Kisgyon. Radiometric and analytical methods are described and gave good agreement for the U content. The sthtistical distribution of U is represented on histograms. The average U contents are given for the different fields (about 60 g U/t coal). A geochemical evaluation of the distribution is given in terms of A. Szalay's theory, according to which U was concentrated by the cation-exchange process on the humic acid content of fossile plant debris in the peat stage of coalification from very dilute solutions.
