[0002] In situ uranium leaching is an important mining method. From theoretical research, field practice to large-scale application, in situ uranium leaching technology has developed relatively maturely in the mining of uranium deposits. In situ uranium leaching technology has made continuous breakthroughs and overcome various difficulties. The conditions for in situ uranium leaching have been continuously broadened.
