SOMAIR exploits uranium an open pit mining whereas COMINAK exploits an underground mining. The uranium ores with a grade of 0.25%U to 0.5%U [1] are treated by SOMAIR and COMINAK mills since 1971 and 1978 respectively. During the uranium recovery processing the principal following inputs are used: uranium ores, sulphuric acid (75 kg/t to 80 kg/5), nitric acid (10 kg/t recycled), sodium oxidant (2.5 kg/t) and water (150 l/t) [2]. The main chain of mining and milling is the following: Mining • Crushing • Leaching —• Solid-Liquid separation —*• Solvent extraction —• Uranium recovery —• Tailings management. The wastes produced (from mining and milling) can be classified as liquid wastes and solid wastes. The first one (liquid wastes) is of two kinds: wastewater and other liquid effluents. The wastewater is decanted for reuse in mills (COMINAK uses 16 basins with 4m of depth on an area of 44 ha to treat 3.4 millions mVyear [3]). Other liquid effluents are stored in basins of evaporation (COMINAK which has produced a volume of 2.18 millions m3 used 11 basins with 4 m of depth on an area of 65 ha against 10 ha for SOMAIR [3])- The solid wastes are barren overburden, low grade uranium ore and tailings mill.

    The Place of Bonny in Niger Delta History (Pp. 36-45)

    An International Multidisciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 5 (5), Serial No. 22, October, 2011 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070--0083 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v5i5.4 The Place of Bonny in Niger Delta History (Pp. 36-45) Orji, Kingdom E. - Department of History & Diplomatic Studies, Rivers State University of Education, Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Tel: +2348056669109 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bonny occupies a strategic position in the Niger Delta Studies. Issues to be examined in this article include the circumstances surrounding the founding of this unique settlement on the Rio Real of Eastern Delta and its implications for the reconstruction of the history of other Niger Delta communities. An attempt will be made to unravel the strains encountered by the indigenous economy of our study area in the face of the assault of Old and New imperialism of the West from the fifteenth centuries to the recent past. Bonny’s strategic and pivotal role in the spread of Christianity in the study area is also highlighted. Early history The indigenous settlers of Bonny are known as the Ibani with a distinct language that goes by the same name. In fact the Ibani language has been classified under languages spoken in Eastern Ijo which themselves belong to the Ijoid group (Efere and Willamson 1989, pp. 43-44, Derefaka 2003, p. 23). Dike (1956, p.24) has given the impression that the Bonny are of Igbo origin. He suggest that the first migrants to this area, under their veritable leader Alagberiye himself, a distinguished hunter, had made incursions into this area between 1450–1800.

Brian Mayer and Sandra Russo, and members, Drs. Leonardo Villalon and Alyson Young. Without you, this research would not have happened in this form. I am additionally grateful to Dr. Sandra Russo who roped me into this PhD while I was floundering in an attempt to live happily in Gainesville and work in US public health happily. Her support, guidance and friendship have served me immeasurably. With Dr. Mark Brown and the Adaptive Management of Water, Wetlands, and Watershed (AMW3) IGERT team, she helped me find a home, both professionally and personally. I thank the National Science Foundation and the entire AMW3 IGERT team for that opportunity and for their financial support of my doctoral program. The Center for African Studies and the Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship program, funded through the US Department of Education, provided financial support of my doctoral program and allowed me to study Arabic for two years, a lifelong goal fulfilled. I would like to thank the Livestock and Climate Change Collaborative Research Support Program (LCC CRSP) for providing funding for my fieldwork in Niger, and for the encouragement and guidance of Drs. Julie Silva and Leo Villalon concerning how to conduct research in a volatile pocket of the African Sahel while raising two small children.
