Uranium processing Uranium processing Leaching Roasted uranium ores are leached of their uranium values by both acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions For the successful operation of all leaching systems uranium must either be initially present in the more stable hexavalent state or be oxidized to that state in the leaching process Acid leaching is commonly performed by agitating an ore
Leaching in place or in situ leaching is practiced on ores that are too far underground and of too low a grade for surface treatment A leach solution is circulated down through a fractured ore body to dissolve the values and is then pumped to the surface where the values are precipitated

Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals typically metals that can be mined treated and sold at a profit Ore is extracted from the earth through mining and treated or refined often via smelting to extract the valuable metals or minerals The grade of ore refers to the concentration of the desired material it contains
Varying the vent time has the greatest impact on leach effect Lower temperatures reduce core leach but not as significantly as expected Reducing suppression pressures only begins to effect leaching below 55psi when using this concentration of KOH Summary The caustic leaching of ceramic cores involves a wide range of physics and chemistry
Permeability of the ore body is important and if the ore does not have sufficient natural porosity it has to be fractured by explosives so that the injected solution may flow through the deposit Ores suitable for insitu leaching are usually loed below the aquifer and the technique has been used to extract copper uranium and soluble salts
Most cyanide leaching is carried out at a alkaline pH of between 10 and 11 depending upon lab testing of individual ores and the optimum leaching chemical use rates The cyanide solution strength is also important in leaching gold with the typical range of solution being in the 0 02 0 05 NaCN
