In this work, in order to study the release, migration, sorption, and (re)precipitation of uranium (U) during alteration under oxidizing conditions, we carried out a systematic study using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray maps, and electron microp...

The subject of this work was supergene uranium mineralization and the YREE concentrations within. YREE differentiation patterns were used to recreate the prevailing crystallization conditions of abandoned mine dumps in Kromnów, Kopaniec, and R...

Soviet and Mongolian geologists initiated geological exploration of Mongolia for minerals after World War II (1945). These activities lasted until the breakup of the USSR in 1991. As part of this exploration systematic uranium and rare element explor...

The growing demand for critical elements vital to the energy transition highlights the need for sustainable secondary sources. Sedimentary phosphate mining generates waste rock known as spoil piles (SPs). These SPs retain valuable phosphate and other...

Uranyl carbonates are one of the largest groups of secondary uranium(VI)-bearing natural phases being represented by 40 minerals approved by the International Mineralogical Association, overtaken only by uranyl phosphates and uranyl sulfates. Uranyl...

Many analytical techniques for trace element analysis are available to the geochemist and geometallurgist to understand and, ideally, quantify the distribution of trace and minor components in a mineral deposit. Bulk trace element data are useful, bu...
