Uranium | Earth Sciences Museum | University of Waterloo
Uranium is a radioactive metal with a high specific gravity which was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth. It was named after the planet Uranus. Occurrence: Uranium is concentrated on the surface of the Earth since its atoms don’t fit into the crystal structure of the minerals in the mantle. It is as common as tin, tungsten and molybdenumin
· Uranium can concentrate in about 200 mineral species (Burns and Finch 1999).A restricted number of these U-bearing minerals may occur in significant concentrations under specific geological conditions to form an ore deposit (Frondel and Fleischer 1955; Frondel 1958; Dahlkamp 1993; Finch and Murakami 1999; Edwards and

Geological Characteristics and Control Mechanism of Uranium Enrichment in Coal-Bearing
In spite of this, the independent uranium minerals such as pitchblende, coffinite, and uranite and some other uranium-bearing minerals are usually common in the sandstone uranium deposit. In addition, the uranium content in the ore body is obviously related to the organic carbon and sulfur contents, indicating that uranium may exist in an organic state.
Uranium is the second most common actinide metal and is found in many minerals. It is used in nuclear fuels and nuclear weapons. It also is a source for creating other actinides, especially plutonium and neptunium. Uranium is also used in the production of high energy X-rays. Uranium compounds are used in photographic toner and as a yellow tint
