Related questions and answers from the German Raw Materials Agency: How much is the price of radium per gram?
One gram of radium was worth US$600,000 in the 1940s. Based on this calculation, it is worth approximately US$2.6 million. However, due to the wide range of uses of radium and the increasing annual demand (especially in the medical field), the market value of one gram of radium may be far more than this. Radium is present in all uranium ores, and every 2.8 tons of uranium ore contains 1 gram of radium. Radium exists in a chemical state in nature, mainly in a variety of minerals, soil, mineral water and seabed silt.
Radium is extremely sparsely distributed in nature, accounting for only 80 billionths of the total number of atoms in the earth's crust. In 1898, French scientists Curie and his wife discovered radium from pitchblende ore. In 1910, Marie Curie prepared pure metallic radium from pitchblende ore.
Extended information: Purpose Radium can emit two kinds of rays, α and γ, and generate radioactive gas radon. The rays emitted by radium can damage and kill cells and bacteria. Therefore, it is often used to treat cancer, etc. In addition, the mixture of radium salt and beryllium powder can be used as a neutron emitter
