OCCURRENCE OF URANIUM IN DIFFERENT ROCKS

Journal Article · · Atomnaya Energiya
OSTI ID:4306514
A knowlodge of the conditions of the formation of uranium deposits depends on a knowledge of the form of uranium in rocks. The latest researches indicate that many different uranium minerals are formed (oxides, hydroxides, sulfates, carbonates, silicates, phosphates, arsenates, vanadates, etc.). Because of isomorphous mixtures uranium enters the crystal lattice of nonuranium minerals. In scattered quantities uranium enters rocks in absorbed form (ion absorption) and dissolved in the rock water. After the formation of rock an exchange of the total content of uranium between these phases occurs. (J.S.R.)
