Extraction and Recovery of Radium, Uranium and Vanadium From Carnotite (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Extraction and Recovery of Radium, Uranium and Vanadium From Carnotite
At about this time newspapers and medical journals were publish ing statements regarding the value of radium in cancer therapy. These reports, although many of them were exaggerated, brought out clearly the remarkable virtue of the gamma rays for the treat ment 'of cancer and other malignant growths. In view of the fact that the largest known supplies of radium ore in the world are in the States of Colorado and Utah and on the public lands Of the United States, it was deemed highly important for the Bureau of Mines to study the production of radium in detail. Such study, it was hoped, would enable the prospector and miner to Obtain a fairer price for the ores and would furnish information necessary in case Congress appropriated funds to develop methods for extracting radium from ore on the public lands under Government supervision, to be supplied at cost to the hospitals of the Army, Navy, and Public Health Service.
