Which mineral is radium obtained?
pitchblende was the first, but any good uranium ore will do as it is a daughter element of uranium's decay.
Is ore extracted from a mineral or a mineral extracted from an ore?
An ore is a rock or mineral from which a valuable metal can be obtained through refining processes.
List four steps that are required to separate an element from the ore in which it is found?
1. get a mineral 2. separate mineral from ore 3. seperater ore from mineral 4. record observation
How many tons of uranium ore are needed to make one kilo of enriched uranium?
A Wikipedia article (see link below) gives the concentration of uranium in ore as 0.01 to 0.25 percent, which is a wide range. If we take 0.1 percent as typical, then 1 tonne (1000Kg) of ore would produce 1 Kg of uranium. This is natural uranium, which is normally enriched by about six times to produce suitable enriched uranium for fuel, so you can say that about 6 tonnes of ore would be needed to give 1 Kg of enriched uranium, but there is considerable variation of this from one source of ore to another
What mineral is known as the peacock ore?

What is pitchblende or galena?
Pitchblende is a name for uraninite, a radioactive mineral from which uranium ore is extracted. The composition of pitchblende can include uranium oxide (UO2) and triuranium octoxide (U3O8), along with lead oxide and pockets of helium.Pitchblende is a radioactive, uranium-rich mineral and ore. It has a chemical composition that is largely UO2, but also contains UO3 and oxides of lead, thorium, and rare earth elements. It is known as pitchblende due to its black color and high density. It is also commonly referred to as Uraninite.
What ore is commonly used in nuclear power plants?
The primary uranium ore mineral is uraninite (UO2) or pitchblende (UO3, U2O5), commonly collectively refered to as U3O8(the most stable form). A range of other uranium minerals can be found in various deposits.
An important ore of uranium is called?
An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.
What mineral has lead ore in it?
the mineral with the ore of lead is galena
What mineral is a tin ore?
The mineral cassiterite is an ore of tin.
Is ore extracted from a mineral or a mineral extracted from an ore?
An ore is a rock or mineral from which a valuable metal can be obtained through refining processes.
Does uranium ore mined run geothermal power?
Uranium ore mining don't release geothermal power.
