Radium is a by-product of the uranium industry.
Radium has not its own minerals; radium exist in extremely low concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
Radium is a decay product of uranium and is therefore found in all uranium-bearing ores. (One metric ton of pitchblende yields 0.0001 grams of radium). Radium was originally acquired from pitchblende ore from Joachimsthal, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Carnotite sands in Colorado provide some of the element, but richer ores are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes area of Canada, and can also be extracted from uranium processing waste. Large radium-containing uranium deposits are located in Canada (Ontario), the United States (New Mexico, Utah, and Virginia), Australia, and in other places.
Radium exist in very small concentrations in uranium ores. It was first discovered in uranium minerals from Joachimsthal, North Bohemia (now Jachymov in the Czech Republic) by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie and Gustave Bemont (1898).
Radium is a rare radioactive element found in trace amounts in uranium ore, and it is usually extracted during the process of mining uranium. It can also be found in small amounts in soil, water, and some rocks.
Radium is not more powerful than uranium. Both radium and uranium are radioactive elements with different properties and uses. Radium is a decay product of uranium and is less commonly found in nature.
Radium is a decay product of uranium.
Uranium and radium, and a number of others, are natural elements found in the ground, and they are radioactive.
Radium exist in very low concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
Radium exist in very low concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
Radium has not its own minerals; radium exist in extremely low concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
Radium is an element itself. It was isolated by Marie Curie from Pitchblende, an ore of Uranium.
Radium exist only in very small concentrations in uranium and thorium ores; radium hasn't its own minerals.
Radium exist only in very small concentrations in uranium minerals; radium hasn't its own minerals.
