MINERALOGY AND CHEMISTRY OF URANIUM-BEARING BLACK SHALES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4316604
The main objectives of the investigation are: to obtain a large amount of precise mineralogical, petrographic, and chemical data on many samples of black shale representive of various geologic periods, geographic localities, and amounts of uranium concentration; to analyze and define tbe interrelationship between the numerous measured variables with respect to differences between geologic and geographic units within each shale studied and differences between shales; and to interpret the results in the light of present concepts with the hope of adding new information in such areas as the mineralogical and chemical nature of black shales, the relationsbip of uranium and other trace element to the major constituents and to the petrographic characteristics of the rocks, the interrelationships of organic and inorganic matter, and the geological conditions which lead to the formation of these rocks and the concentration of uranium in them.
