Description

In this paper, uranium ore samples collected from different hole depth and different numbered hole. The effects of uranium speciation to in situ leaching of uranium were analyzed by sequential chemical extraction and sulfuric acid leaching tests. These results imply that the distribution characteristics of uranium speciation are significantly different whether they are in the same numbered uranium ore sample or in the different numbered uranium ore samples. The residual uranium are the most component in primary mineral. The acidity has a great influence on the leaching rate of uranium ore in situ leaching of uranium. (author)
