See the link below for uranium mines; the preparation of pure uranium metal (or other compounds) from ores is a long and expensive work.
Chemical engineering processes and other processes are of course involved: radiometric sorting, grinding, dissolving, filtration, separation with ion exchangers, separation by solvent extraction, precipitation, calcination, etc.
No, nuclear power and uranium are not the same. Nuclear power is a form of energy that is generated through nuclear reactions, while uranium is a radioactive element that is commonly used as fuel in nuclear power plants. Uranium is not the only fuel source for nuclear power, but it is the most commonly used.
Uranium is primarily acquired through mining operations, where it is extracted from the earth's crust. It can also be obtained through processes like in situ leaching, where a solution is pumped into underground uranium deposits to dissolve the metal for extraction. Some uranium is also produced as a byproduct of other mining operations, such as copper or gold mining.
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; also uranium is pyrophoric in powdered form or in high speed projectiles on impact.
Yes, although you'll need special equipment depending on what you'd like to prepare the uranium for. - in a nuclear physics laboratory artificial uranium isotopes can be obtained - if you think to the preparation of uranium (as a metal) from other compounds this is very possible but not in a simple laboratory - uranium has 3 natural isotopes
A price list for uranium certified materials is at: http://www.nbl.doe.gov/htm/lists/certified_reference_materials_price_list.htm Industrial uranium is not so expensive, the price depend essentially of enrichment. As an example, uranium dioxide powder - natural uranium, nuclear grade for HWPR reactors, is about 70 $/kg but the price is very variable in time.
Uranium is not easily obtained; and the technology of plutonium is extremely difficult.
Being a metal uranium can be obtained in any shape desired.
Martin Heinrich Klaproth obtained the oxide of uranium - U3O8 in 1789; but the pure element was obtained in 1841 by Eugene-Melchior Peligot.
Uranium as a pure metallic element was obtained after the alchemic period; alchemists don't know uranium.
In the past polonium was obtained from the residues of uranium ores, after extraction of uranium.Now polonium is obtained only by nuclear reactions.
Legally impossible.
This state is Jharkhand.
The anagram is "uranium."
Uranium was discovered But as mineral) in 1789 by Klaproth.In 1841 Peligot obtained the pure metal.
Uranium was discovered by Martin Klaproth in 1789 (in the form of an oxide) in Germany. In 1841 Eugene Peligot in France obtained pure uranium metal.
Natural francium exist in uranium and thorium ores.Artificial francium is obtained in particle accelerators.
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
