Distribution and modes of occurrence of uranium in coals of …

Uranium is an environmentally hazardous element, and is commonly present at trace levels (2.4 μg/g for world coals) in coal deposits. However, selected coal deposits could be highly enriched in uranium. In this study, 15 coal samples were collected from Eastern Yunnan coal deposits, China, aiming to characterize the distribution and …

The concentration of uranium in the majority of samples was 0.01–17.00 mg/kg (n = 1326), and the arithmetic average was 3.08 mg/kg, which was close to the evaluation result (3.00 mg/kg) obtained by Tang and Huang (2004). The concentration ranges and arithmetic average values of uranium in the main coal-bearing regions are …

Abundance, Distribution, and Modes of Occurrence of Uranium …

Uranium is a radioactive element, which is both chemically and radiologically toxic [].Uranium connately and ubiquitously occurs in coal. Thus, coal combustion is considered as one source of radioactive material in the environment [2,3,4,5].Though it is controversial, the radiation doses from atmospheric emission of a coal-fired power plant …

Uranium | Definition, Properties, Uses, & Facts | Britannica

Uranium is a dense, hard metallic element that is silvery white in colour. It is ductile, malleable, and capable of taking a high polish.In air the metal tarnishes and when finely divided breaks into flames. It is a relatively poor conductor of electricity.Though discovered (1789) by German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who named it after the …

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials in Uranium-Rich …

Most coals in China have uranium concentrations up to 3 ppm, yet several coal deposits are known to be enriched in uranium. Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in these U-rich coals and associated coal combustion residues (CCRs) have not been well characterized. Here we measure NORM (Th, U, 228Ra, 226Ra, and …

The Coal-Uranium Breeder: Uranium from coal

Thus, although the concentration of uranium in the coal would place it in the low-grade range (less than about 100 ppm), the concentration in the ash would place it in the intermediate-grade range (about 100-500 ppm) and in a CUB it might be produced The coal-uranium breeder: uranium from coal 175 30,000 S 20,000 10,000 10 20 30 …

Uranium: The Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Beyond

1. Introduction. Uranium was discovered in 1789 by the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth [].It is the most known and used actinide element mainly because of its usage in nuclear fuel processing; however, the application potential of uranium compounds is much broader, stretching, e.g., into the field of organometallic synthesis, …

Uranium and Thorium | Australia's Energy Commodity …

Australian uranium production will fall by about 30 per cent (approximately 1900 tU p.a.) in the short to medium term due to the cessation of mining at the Ranger mine. All of Australia's domestic production is exported. As of January 2021, new mining is proposed at Boss Energy's Honeymoon project (South Australia).

What Are the Benefits of Uranium Mining? | Sciencing

Environmental Impact. One advantage uranium mining has over production methods used to retrieve fossil fuels is that plants need much less uranium to create electricity than is required if using coal, natural gas or oil. One kilogram of uranium provides the same amount of energy as about 100,000 kilos of oil or nearly 220,000 kilos of coal.

The nuclear fuel cycle

The nuclear fuel cycle consists of two phases: the front end and the back end. Front-end steps prepare uranium for use in nuclear reactors. Back-end steps ensure that used—or spent —but still highly radioactive, nuclear fuel is safely managed, prepared, and disposed of. Nuclear power plants primarily use a specific type of uranium (U-235 ...
