泥炭中富集铀的现象很早就知道了。早在第一次世界大战前就研究过马达加斯加岛上最大的含铀泥炭田。维尔纳茨基曾指出,泥炭田中铀的富集可做为铀与有机物质有联系的典型例证。在外生条件下,包括泥炭沼泽在内,铀的富集可作为从蚀源区基岩中发现铀矿化的线索。同时泥炭田作为直接研究铀聚集的机 The enrichment of uranium in peat has long been known. As early as before World War I had studied the largest uranium-bearing peat field in the island of Madagascar. Wernerzczyk has pointed out that enrichment of uranium in peatlands can serve as a typical example of uranium linked to organic matter. Under exogenous conditions, including peat swamps, enrichment of uranium can serve as a clue to the discovery of uranium mineralization from basement rocks in eroded areas. At the same time peat fields serve as a direct engine for uranium accumulation
