Uranium - Metal of the future
Since the German chemist Martin Klaproth discovered uranium in 1789, so far uranium has been used by humans for both military and civilian purposes.
Since the German chemist Martin Klaproth discovered uranium in 1789, so far uranium has been used by humans for both military and civilian purposes. In particular, nuclear power is produced to meet about 13% of the world's electricity. To produce 40 million KW of electricity, about 80,000 barrels of oil (equivalent to US $ 7,600,000) or 16,000 tons of coal (US $ 1,600,000) are needed, but only 1 ton of uranium (US $ 90,000) is needed
Uranium is a relatively clean energy source, which does not produce greenhouse gases, which can be used to combat global warming. It is also anticipated that demand for use will increase in the future due to the growing population and human needs.
In this infographic, we will introduce you to the history of uranium and its applications as well as to predict the price and demand for future use.
