Abstract

A bacteria agitation leaching method for a uranium ore belongs to the technical field of biological metallurgy. The method is conducted according to the following steps: (1) inoculating a mixed bacteria solution containing ferrous oxide micro-spirillum, eosino-ferrous oxide thiobacillus and eosino-thiobacillus thiooxidans into a culture medium to prepare a culture solution; (2) regulating the pH value, introducing air and stirring to culture so as to prepare a leaching bacteria solution; (3) adding water into uranium ore powder to prepare an ore pulp, regulating the pH value with sulfuric acid, then adding the ore pulp into the leaching bacteria solution to prepare a leaching mixture solution; (4) regulating the pH value of the leaching mixture solution by using the sulfuric acid, introducing air and stirring to leach. According to the method, the leaching rate of the uranium is remarkably improved, the acid consumption is reduced, and by improving dynamics in the mineral leaching process, the leaching period is shortened, and the leaching rate is increased. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of low production cost, low investment, simple equipment, environment friendliness and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biometallurgy, in particular to a bacterial stirring leaching method for uranium ore. Background technique [0002] Uranium is a raw material for nuclear power and nuclear weapons, and plays an important role in national economic development and national defense construction. With the continuous expansion of human demand for energy, nuclear energy, as a green energy, has great room for development, especially in China. The main characteristics of my country's uranium ore resources are that there are many and complex types of ores, most of which are middle and low-grade uranium ores, uneven mineralization, and a large proportion of refractory uranium ores. In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's nuclear power industry, the contradiction between supply and demand of uranium resources has become more prominent; conventional acid leaching has problems such as high acid consumption, long l...
