Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of in-situ leaching uranium mining, and particularly relates to a using method of an organic chlorine oxidant in neutral in-situ leaching uranium mining. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are injected into groundwater to prepare a leaching agent, and the pH value of the leaching agent is controlled to be 6.8-7.5; the concentration of the leach liquor uranium does not increase any more when reaching a peak value, and the oxygen stops being added; sodium dichloroisocyanurate is added as an oxidant, the prepared sodium dichloroisocyanurate solution is added into a liquid injection main pipe through a metering pump, and the mass concentration is 200-300 mg / L; the free chlorine concentration of a leach liquor is monitored, and when the free chlorine concentration is greater than 20 mg / L, the mass concentration of the oxidant sodium dichloroisocyanurate is reduced to 30-40% of the original concentration, namely, 60-120 mg / L; when the leaching rate of a block section is greater than 70%, the oxidant stops being added until the leaching process is finished. The using method can overcome the defect that the neutral leaching uranium mining adopts the oxygen as the oxidant, the tetravalent uranium in the ore is effectively oxidized, the concentration of the leach liquor uranium is improved, and the leaching period of the ore is shortened

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of in-situ leaching uranium mining, and in particular relates to a method for using an organic chlorine oxidant in neutral leaching uranium mining. Background technique [0002] Neutral in-situ leaching uranium mining is suitable for sandstone-type uranium deposits with high carbonate content. It has the advantages of low leaching cost, high uranium concentration in the leach solution, and environmental protection. It is mainly used in in-situ leaching production in my country and the United States. The uranium minerals in sandstone-type uranium deposits exist in the tetravalent form, and oxidants need to be added to oxidize the tetravalent uranium to hexavalent. The neutral in-situ leaching mines in my country usually use O 2 as an oxidizing agent. Under standard conditions, the density of oxygen is 1.429g / L, and it can be dissolved in water, but the solubility is very small. During the leaching process, ...
