Problems solved by technology

[0002] Some uranium and molybdenum ores are refractory ores. Using the traditional acid method enhanced stirring leaching process, although the leaching rate of uranium and molybdenum can reach more than 80% and 50%, the average grade of uranium and molybdenum in the tailings is still 0.04% and 0.04%. 1.0%, if the tailings are directly neutralized and sent to the tailings pond, the uranium and molybdenum in the tailings cannot be recovered, resulting in a large waste of resources
The current treatment method is temporary storage, but the storage of tailings requires a large amount of temporary land, which increases the cost of tailings management. At the same time, the content of uranium in the tailings is high, and radioactive dust will also cause secondary pollution to the surrounding environment.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a production process for recovering uranium and molybdenum from sedovite acid leaching tailings. The production process comprises: carrying out breaking and fine grinding on dried sedovite acid leaching tailings, uniformly mixing the grinded sedovite acid leaching tailings and an additive, adding water, granulating, carrying out high temperature calcination on the ore pellets, cooling the calcined ore, piling, and leaching by spraying a sulfuric acid solution. According to the present invention, the ore and the sulfur fixing agent are uniformly mixed, and granulation is performed, such that no smoke dust is generated during the calcination, more than 98% of sulfur is cured in the ore, the calcined ore can be subjected to pile leaching so as to eliminate thesolid-liquid separation and achieve the high comprehensive utilization of resources, and the uranium and molybdenum resources are comprehensively recycled, wherein the uranium leaching rate and the molybdenum leaching rate respectively are more than 65% and more than 75%; and the production process has high economic value, the leached tailings can be directly piled and stored in the tailings warehouse after the neutralization, and the whole process is environment-friendly and pollution-free.
