Problems solved by technology

[0004] For this type of sandstone uranium deposit, if the traditional acid method (generally using sulfuric acid as the leaching agent) is used for mining, on the one hand, due to the high content of carbonate, the acid consumption is relatively high, which is not suitable for the economical development of uranium deposits. At the same time, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas and calcium sulfate precipitation will be produced during acid leaching, which will cause serious blockage of the ore-beari...

Embodiment 1

[0024] The test ore body is located on the N8 exploration line of the Nalingou uranium deposit, with an average thickness of 4.40m, an average grade of 0.0709%, and an average uranium content of 6.38kg / m2 2 , with an average buried depth of 400m. After analysis and testing, the carbonate content of the ore is expressed as CO 2 It is calculated as 0.297% to 11.36%, with an average content of 3.41%; the maximum content of organic matter reaches 10.0%, with an average content of 3.26%.

[0025] Use effect of the present invention:

[0026] The test block adopts the leaching process of oxalic acid plus citric acid as the leaching agent, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0027] Step 1, groundwater circulation: first pump out the groundwater of the ore-bearing layer from the pumping hole, then inject it into the ore-bearing layer from the liquid injection hole, and dredge the ore layer through the groundwater circulation, and the cycle lasts for 20 days;

[0028] Step 2, p...

Abstract

The invention discloses an in-situ leaching uranium mining method by using mixing organic acidity as a leaching agent, which is characterized in that oxalic acid and citric acid are taken as the leaching agent, the leaching agent is injected into an ore bed by using an on-line mode addition mode, pH value of an immersion liquid is kept at 3-6, so that an organic matter for coating metal uranium can be dissolved, and leaching can be promoted; in addition, when the carbonate in the ore bed is corroded by oxalic acid and citric acid, its organic function group generates complexation with elements such as calcium, magnesium and iron in ore without deposition generation, on one hand, leaching reaction can be continuously carried out, on the other hand, penetration performance of the ore bed can be increased, and liquid injection amount of the boring is obviously increased. The method can be used in Ordos uranium deposit in-situ leaching uranium mining tests and production, liquid injection amount is obviously increased, and uranium concentration of leachate is obviously increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of in-situ leaching uranium mining, and in particular relates to a process for using mixed organic acids as leaching agents in the in-situ leaching uranium mining process of sandstone uranium ores containing percarbonate and organic matter. Background technique [0002] In-situ leaching uranium mining is to inject a leaching agent prepared in a certain proportion into the ore layer through a liquid injection well drilled from the surface to the ore-bearing layer, and the injected leaching agent and oxidant will chemically react with the useful components in the ore to form soluble The compound leaves the chemical reaction zone under the action of diffusion and convection and enters the leachate flow that permeates and migrates along the ore seam to form leachate. [0003] In recent years, a number of in-situ leaching sandstone uranium deposits with large reserves have been proven in many parts of Inner Mongo...
