Mackinawite partial oxidation to green rust produces a large, abiotic uranium isotope fractionation by Romain Guilbaud, Morten B. Andersen, Helen M. Freeman, Jeffrey Paulo H. Perez, David Uhlig, Liane G. Benning

“…Accurate reconstructions of oxygen levels in such conditions are therefore required, but current geochemical proxies fail in identifying transitional redox conditions. Uranium isotopes are an emerging palaeoredox proxy, as large isotope fractionations are recorded during the reduction of uranium into anoxic sediments. …”

USING COAL AS A PRESSURE INSTRUMENT OR ENERGY WEAPON by Teodora LAZAR, Mila Ilieva OBRETENOVA, Marius Daniel MARCU, Adina TATAR, Nicolae Daniel FITA, Dragos PASCULESCU

“…The emergence of energy dynamism around the world manifested by the lack of finite primary energy resources (oil, natural gas, coal and uranium) and/or electricity to final consumers and the wish of the world's major energy powers to own and control the entire world energy chain for the purpose of using primary energy resources or electricity as a possible energy weapon or pressure instrument in the context of blackmail and profitability, it makes this paper of great importance and relevance, especially in the new context of military instability on the background and due to energy causes. …”

THE ECONOMIC INFLUENCE OF FRANCE IN WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA by Juraj Ondriaš, Mykola Palinchak, Kateryna Brenzovych

“…The paper begins by examining the long-term impact of France on the extraction of two key commodities, oil and uranium, on the African continent. This is primarily accomplished through French multinational corporations, which have historical ties to the French government and which exert dominant control over the extraction of the aforementioned mineral resources in the countries under examination. …”

Sub-technology market share strongly affects critical material constraints in power system transitions by Huijuan Dong, Tianyu Zhang, Yong Geng, Peng Wang, Shu Zhang, Joseph Sarkis

“…Material constraints are likely to occur for gallium, terbium, germanium, tellurium, indium, uranium and copper. The importance value is determined by the ratio of power sector to all-sector material demand; the importance value of gallium will increase to 50% due to increases in gallium arsenide and permanent magnet sub-technologies. …”
