Description

The formation mechanism of natural electric field in interlayer oxidation zone sandstone type uranium deposits is analyzed. The spontaneous potential, which is one mixed potential caused by the interaction of unbalanced bodies in interlayer oxidation zone, is regarded as current field of ground current source distribution, and a physical and mathematic model was set up. High-precision numerical solution was obtained by using finite element method. A reference is provided for analyzing spontaneous potential in interlayer oxidation zone. (authors)
