The Extractive Metallurgy of Uranium

The basic objective of this book was to survey and review the 1967-1968 status of the technology in the uranium ore processing industry in the US. To this end, nearly all of the uranium mills operating in the US in 1967 were visited by the author, leading to descriptions presented in Chap. 15. Descriptions of mills either deactivatedor no longer producing uranium as a major product are contained in Chap 16. The remaining chapters in the book are directed towards discussions of the milling processes and associated facets of the industry.
