Description

Based on discussion about the basic principles and conditions of in-situ leaching of uranium by natural reagent, the geological and hydrogeological conditions of a deposit, Xinjiang, are analysed. The possibility for in-situ leaching of uranium by natural reagent is put forword. The results of the laboratory experiment show that under the air preparing or oxygen oxidizing ore, the uranium can be leached from ores by natural ore-bearing aquifer groundwater. (authors)
