Uranium carbonate
Uranium (uranyl) carbonate, UO2(CO3), is a carbonate of uranium that forms the backbone of several uranyl mineral species such as Andersonite, McKelveyite and Wyartite and most importantly Rutherfordine. It is also found in both the mineral and organic fractions of coal and its fly ash and is the main component of uranium in mine tailing seepage water.
