Abstract

The invention provides a bicarbonate-type groundwater plus O2 leaching uranium mining process, which adopts an in-situ leaching method to mine uranium ore layers in a bicarbonate-type aquifer. In this process, O2 is directly mixed with the leaching solution and then injected into the ground. After adding oxygen to the groundwater containing HCO3-, the uranium in the ore is oxidized and leached to form [UO2(CO3)3]4- or [UO2(CO3)2]2 -The leaching solution of complex anions is then extracted from the surface and sent to the hydrometallurgy process for processing. The invention adds O2 as an oxidant and utilizes HCO3- ions in bicarbonate groundwater as a leaching agent for uranium, which can effectively control the occurrence of chemical blockage and improve the leaching rate of uranium in situ leaching. Compared with the traditional acid leaching and alkali leaching processes, the process cost is reduced and the mining environment is better protected. From the test results, the concentration of uranium leached by adding O2 in bicarbonate-type groundwater can reach 30mg / L, which meets the requirements of industrial production.

Description

Add O to bicarbonate groundwater 2 in situ leaching uranium mining process technical field The present invention relates to a kind of processing method of in-situ leaching mining uranium, particularly a kind of utilizing bicarbonate type ground water to add O2 in-situ leaching uranium mining process. Background technique In situ leaching mining uranium (abbreviation ground leaching mining uranium) is that the liquid injection well drilled into the ore-bearing layer from the surface will press a certain ratio The prepared solution is injected into the ore layer, and the injected solution reacts with the useful components in the ore to form a chemical reaction. The soluble compounds leave the chemical reaction zone under the action of diffusion and convection and enter the solution flow that permeates and migrates along the ore bed The leachate is formed; the leachate is lifted from the pumping well to the surface through the ore layer, and the extracted leachate i...
