The book emphasizes various aspects of processing secondary sources for recovery of uranium. The field of secondary resource processing is gaining ground over the last few years as it is eco-friendly, economical and in tune with the philosophy of sustainable development. The book is the first one of its type in the area and includes a succint and comprehensive description of related areas of ore mineralogy, resource classification, processing principles involved in uranium solubilisation followed by separation and safety aspects. The clear organisation and the carefully selected figures and...

The study was carried out in two dominant forest types i.e., Bnaj oak and Chir pine forests to assess vegetation analysis, physico-chemical characteristics and soil organic carbon stock. The study suggests that in both the forest types, the tree density and total basal cover of forests decreased with increasing altitudes. The soil condition of Banj-oak forest was comparatively better than the Chir-pine forest. The carbon stock along altitudes between the forest showed decreasing trend as 72 8, 70.4 11.2 and 64 5.6 for Bnaj oak and 60 3.8, 50.4 7.2 and 49.6 8 t C ha-1 for Chir pine forests....
