Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a CO2+O2 in-situ leaching mining experimental system and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] Uranium is a fundamental raw material for the nuclear industry and plays a vital role in national economic and military development. Compared with traditional mining methods, in-situ leaching of uranium offers advantages such as high economic efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and high resource utilization. The most important aspects of CO2+O2 in-situ leaching of uranium involve exploring the dissolution mechanism of CO2+O2 in solution and the reactive solute transport process under gas-liquid two-phase mixing conditions. However, in the laboratory, it is impossible to conduct in-situ leaching experiments by mixing CO2+O2 with the initial leaching solution; currently, no final leaching solution is prepared for CO2+O2 in-situ leaching experiments in laboratories. Therefore, it is crucial to solve the problem of mixing CO2+O2 with the leaching solution in the laboratory and to conduct realistic reaction experiments on uranium ore samples in the leaching solution.

[0003] Currently, sandstone uranium leaching mining simulation test systems mainly involve injecting leaching agents into horizontal wells of the leaching unit via injection devices. The leaching agent penetrates the ore body and reacts chemically with uranium. The reacted leaching agent is then extracted through vertical wells using pumping devices. These systems all use pre-prepared leaching solutions and cannot perform mixed injection of CO2+O2 with the leaching solution, resulting in significant differences from actual engineering field conditions. Based on these limitations, there is an urgent need for a CO2+O2 in-situ leaching mining experimental system and its application method. This system would meet the requirements of experimental research on the geological response of CO2+O2 in-situ leaching mining, simulating a real geological environment to provide support for the research and development of key scientific technologies for in-situ leaching mining. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose a CO2+O2 in-situ leaching mining experimental system. Based on a gas-liquid mixing mechanism, it achieves efficient mixing of CO2+O2 with the initial leaching solution and NH4HCO3 solution. A reaction mechanism simulates the actual geological environment, enabling a realistic reaction experiment with uranium ore samples in the leaching solution.

The entire system achieves in-situ simulation of CO2+O2 in-situ leaching mining and monitors and analyzes multi-field coupled evolution characteristics.

[0014] b. Open the liquid oxygen cylinder. The liquid oxygen is vaporized through vaporization box II and enters constant pressure storage box II. Adjust constant pressure storage box II to a suitable pressure. Open the control valve and control the gas flow meter II to inject appropriate O2 gas according to the set gas-liquid ratio.

Push lever I to the right to increase the pressure in chamber I. The initial solution and O2 are fully mixed in the high-pressure space. Push lever II downward to decrease the pressure in chamber II and create a negative pressure. Close control lever II and open control lever I. The solution mixture will enter the negative pressure space of chamber II from the high-pressure space in chamber I. At the same time, the solution mixture will pass through static mixer I.

[0016] d. Once the entire leaching solution mixture has entered chamber II, close control lever I and adjust it to a suitable pressure. Open the CO2 gas control valve and, according to the established gas-liquid ratio, control gas flow meter I to inject a suitable amount of CO2 gas. Close the CO2 gas control valve and push push rod II upwards to increase the pressure in chamber II. The leaching solution mixture and CO2 will mix thoroughly in the high-pressure space. Open control lever II and continue pushing push rod II. The leaching solution mixture will pass through static mixer II and enter the atomizer, then be sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle. Once the entire leaching solution mixture has entered chamber III, close control lever II and open the valve controlling the NH4HCO3 solution and hydraulic pump II. According to the established gas-liquid ratio, control liquid flow meter II to inject a suitable volume of NH4HCO3 solution. Turn on the stirring fan to ensure thorough mixing of the solution.
