Problems solved by technology

But at the same time, the recycling of process wastewater also brings some problems, the most important of which is the corrosion, scarring and blockage of equipment and pipelines caused by the accumulation of impurity elements in wastewater
Especially in the process of acid leaching uranium, SO 4 2- 、Na + Plasma can accumulate in large quantities during recycling, severely affecting the closed-loop process flow of uranium production and reducing the degree of waste water minimization

Abstract

The present invention provides a waste minimization method suitable for use in acid heap leaching mines. Its steps: (1) crush the uranium ore to a certain particle size, and leach the uranium ore according to the acid heap leaching process; (2) when the uranium concentration of the uranium ore leach solution drops below 5 mg / L, the leaching is completed; the obtained leach solution Perform ion exchange adsorption to extract uranium; transfer the heap leaching tailings obtained to the tailings storage; (3) spray the heap leaching tailings transferred to the tailings storage with the obtained ion exchange adsorption tailings or raffinate water (4) After replenishing leaching agent and oxidant to the tailings effluent, return to the acid heap leaching process to leach uranium ore; (5) After the overall leaching operation of the uranium mine is completed, add The neutralizer is neutralized and decommissioned. The invention reduces the generation of waste water and waste residues, improves the comprehensive utilization rate of materials, reduces reagent consumption, saves production costs, and improves the overall uranium recovery rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of uranium ore leaching in uranium hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for minimizing waste in mine tailings storages by acid heap leaching. Background technique [0002] Since the 1990s, with the adjustment of my country's uranium mining and metallurgy structure, acid heap leaching has become the main process of hard rock uranium production in my country. After the leaching operation is completed, the current tailings treatment method is to carry out neutralization treatment before the tailings enter the tailings storage. That is, after the leaching period is over, water is added to spray and rinse the ore heap, and then the heap is unloaded, and the unloaded leaching slag is neutralized by a neutralizing agent such as lime, and then stored in the tailings pond permanently. However, due to the large particle size of the ore in heap leaching and the generally long heap leaching period, du...
