Geology and Mineralogy of Uranium Deposits from Mount Isa, Australia: Implications for Albitite Uranium Deposit Models
New geological, bulk chemical and mineralogical (QEMSCAN and FEG-EPMA) data are presented for albitite-type uranium deposits of the Mount Isa region of Queensland, Australia. Early albitisation of interbedded metabasalt and metasiltstone predated intense deformation along D2 high strain (mylonite) zones. The early sodic alteration paragenetic stage includes albite, riebeckite, aegirine, apatite...
متن کاملTowards a Model for Albitite-Type Uranium
Albitite-type uranium deposits are widely distributed, usually of low grade (<1% U3O8), but are often large and collectively contain over 1 million tonnes of U3O8. Uranium is hosted in a wide range of metamorphic lithologies, whose only common characteristic is that they have been extensively mylonitised. Ore minerals are disseminated and rarely in megascopic veins, within and adjacent to albit...
متن کاملMineralogy and uranium leaching of ores from Triassic Peribaltic sandstones
The recovery of uranium and other valuable metals from Polish Peribaltic sandstones were examined. The solid-liquid extraction is the first stage of the technology of uranium production and it is crucial for the next stages of processing. In the laboratory experiments uranium was leached with efficiencies 71-100 % by acidic lixiviants. Satisfactory results were obtained for the alkaline leachin...
متن کاملUranium Mining: Australia and Globally
This Fact Sheet covers the start of the nuclear industry chain – uranium mining. It aims to present a concise overview of the nature of uranium, its mining and milling, and the numerous environmental and radiological aspects associated with this heavy industrial endeavour. It is clear that uranium is a finite resource and that the environmental costs associated with mining are significant and m...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Uranium-Citrate Complexes: Implications for Extraction of Uranium from Soils
Citrate is often used as a complexing agent to mobilize sorbed and precipitated uranium in both in situ and ex situ extraction of soils and nuclear reactor components. The biodegradability of U-citrate complexes is an important control over the potential migration of residual uranium after the extraction process is complete. In solutions buffered at pH 6-7, limited biodegradation of citrate is ...
