The Middle East could be considered to house some 20 billion tons of phosphate resources, which, at 20% P2O5 as an average, would contain 4 billion tons P2O5. Most of the Middle East phosphates contain uranium to some extent. The uranium occurs mainly as a replacement element in the structure of fluorapatiteand francolitephosphate minerals.

Uranium is a chemical element with the symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-grey metal in the actinide series of the periodic table.A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, of which 6 are valence electrons.Uranium is weakly radioactive because all isotopes of uranium are unstable; the half-lives of its naturally occurring isotopes range between 159,200 years and 4.5 billion years.

History. While uranium is used primarily for nuclear power, uranium mining had its roots in the production of radium-bearing ore from 1898 from the mining of uranium-vanadium sandstone deposits in western Colorado. The 1950s saw a boom in uranium mining in the western U.S., spurred by the fortunes made by prospectors such as Charlie Steen.The United States was the world's leading …

Uranium is a moderately rare element. Its abundance is estimated to be about 1 to 2 parts per million, making it about as abundant as bromine or tin. The most common ore of uranium is pitchblende, although it also occurs in other minerals, such as uraninite, carnotite, uranophane, and coffinite. Isotopes. All isotopes of uranium are radioactive.

However, uranium is highly soluble and commonly taken into solution and carried by meteoric waters into aquifers. Uranium minerals commonly precipitate at the water table, where conditions change from oxidising to reducing (REDOX Boundary). This leads to the formation of a small, commonly curved, roll-type ore deposit.

Natural waters carrying the uranium carbonate and phosphate will also carry many other anions, such as the sulphate, fluoride and chloride which may also form complexes with uranium. Uranium complexes of some of these anions are important under specific environmental conditions: (a) Uranous fluoride in reducing water below pH 3-4.

that nuclear fission had been occurring. Intriguingly, the xenon at Oklo was not trapped in uranium ores, as would be expected if it was a direct fission product of uranium 235, but rather in grains of aluminium phosphate. Indeed, these aluminium phosphates showed the highest concentration of xenon ever found in any natural material.
