Problems solved by technology

The beneficiation method increases the process of ore treatment, which will increase the cost of ore treatment
On the other hand, beneficiation produces a certain proportion of tailings, which also contain lower grade uranium, resulting in the loss of uranium metal

Abstract

The invention provides a leaching method capable of reducing leached acid consumption of uranium ores, which comprises the following steps: leaching uranium ores by using the mixed solution of sulfuric acid and polyferric sulfate aluminium as the leaching agent, wherein if adopting an agitation leaching mode, the amount of the sulfuric acid in the mixed solution is 6-12% by mass of uranium ores, the amount of the polyferric sulfate aluminium is 0.3-0.7% by mass of uranium ores, and the mass proportion (liquid to solid ratio) of the leaching agent to the uranium ores is (1-2):1; and if adopting a heap leaching mode, the concentration of the sulfuric acid in the mixed solution is 5-10 g / L, and the amount of the polyferric sulfate aluminium is controlled, so that the concentration of Fe<3+> in the mixed solution is 3.0-8.0 g / L, and the concentration of Al<3+> is 0.2-0.8 g / L. On the premise of not affecting the leaching of uranium ores, the polyferric sulfate aluminium selectively inhibits the principal acid-consuming elements and the reaction of sulfuric acid, lowers the leaching rate and reduces the leached acid consumption of ores, thereby lowering the processing cost for uranium ore heap leaching.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to uranium ore hydrometallurgy technology, in particular to a leaching method for reducing acid consumption in uranium ore leaching. Background technique [0002] In the acid leaching process of uranium ore, uranium minerals only consume a small amount of sulfuric acid, and most of the sulfuric acid is consumed in the contact with non-target minerals such as bauxite, iron oxide, calcium magnesium oxide and carbonate, etc. In terms of reaction, how to inhibit the reaction of the main acid-consuming elements ferrous, ferric, aluminum, calcium, magnesium and sulfuric acid, and reduce its dissolution rate is the main way to reduce the acid consumption of uranium ore leaching. [0003] Existing common methods include ore pretreatment (mineral processing), low-acid high-flux leaching. [0004] Mineral beneficiation, that is, to effectively screen out gangue minerals in uranium ore, especially the main acid-consuming minerals, through r...
