What kind of rock in which radioactive elements occur naturally?
Pitchblende uranium ore UO2
Is iron ore uranium ore?
Uranium ore is not...uranium ore !
Usable amounts of metal can be removed from a deposit called what?
ORE
Which metals are made from metal-ore?
The type of ore will determine the type of metal. Iron ore yields Iron. Silver ore yields silver. Gold ore yields gold.
What characterizes a radioactive element?
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
What is highly radioactive ore?
Minerals like uraninite and carnotite are highly radioactive ores of uranium.
What kind of rock in which radioactive elements occur naturally?
Pitchblende uranium ore UO2
Is radium synthetic and radioactive?
Radioactive yes, synthetic no. Radium is found in nature in very small trace amounts usually in uranium ore deposits.
Radioactive element that was found in France?
Radium was discovered in France by the Curies, in samples of ore from the Austrian Empire, in 1898.
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.
Where is acinium found?
Actinium is separated from pitchblende. Actinium, AC, is found in uranium ore, a product of radioactive decay of uranium and ?æother unstable elements.
Why did protactinium come here?
Protactinium is a natrural chemical element, radioactive, unstable; protactinium is found in extremely low concentrations, in pitchblende - an uranium ore.
What type of ore is thorium?
Thorium is a naturally radioactive element and is extremely expensive to mine--environmental regulations and waste disposal mandate costly extraction and transport procedures
What is the environmental impacts of extracting of refining uranium ore?
1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and a radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon. 4. Radioactive wastes are dangerous and need to be isolated.
Is iron ore uranium ore?
Uranium ore is not...uranium ore !
What ore does radon come from?
Radon is released from any substance containing traces of uranium or radium. These substances, which include most rock and soil, are found worldwide. Radon gas is released by the emissiom of alpha particles from these radioactive substances.
What is an unrefined mineral?
iron ore iron ore
