What is it called when you isolate polonium and radium from uranium ore?

The process of isolating polonium and radium from uranium ore is called "uranium ore processing" or "uranium enrichment." This involves a series of chemical and physical separation techniques to extract the desired elements from the ore.


What is the common name for uranium concentrate?

You think probable to "yellow cake".Yellow cake is uranium diuranate - (NH4)2U2O7.


How is uranium captured?

Uranium is captured through a process called uranium mining, which involves extracting uranium ore from the ground. This ore is then processed to separate the uranium from other minerals and impurities. The uranium is further refined and enriched to be used in various applications, such as nuclear power generation.


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 kind of streak does uranium have?

Uranium ore - Uraninite - has a black streak and a hardness of 5 to 6, which is about the same as steel.
