Extracting individual elements from the host mineral’s chemistry is a complex and energy-intensive process, involving strong acids and other hazardous chemicals. Radioactive materials such as uranium and thorium are often found alongside the elements, and these can end up in the “tailings” – a toxic stew of waste products from the refinement process.Read more
