| Abstract |
Information on total estimated uranium reserves and domestic requirements was collected and a survey was made on the possibilities of recovery of uranium from low-grade and complex ore deposits; for example, marine phosphates, shales, coal, sea water, etc. To assess the potential for uranium recovery from uraniferous phosphorites, available thermodynamic data of uranium minerals, compounds, and aqueous species were collected. The existance of uranium complexes with chloride, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate, sulfate, etc., in ground waters were evaluated at different pH levels. |
