leaching of uranium R. VENTER* and M. BOYLETT* *GRD Minproc Pty (Ltd), Bryanston, South Africa Uranium in the tetravalent state has very low solubility in acid and alkaline solutions and needs to be oxidized to the hexavalent state to become soluble. In acid leaching of uranium the uranium is oxidized
The techniques of extraction for uranium mining are proportionate as follows: In-situ leach (44.9%), underground mining (26.2%), open pit (19.9%) and heap leaching (1.7%), with the remaining 7.3% arising as a result of byproduct from other mining operations. [3] ... Moreover, South Africa's uranium industry has made monumental social and ...
Uranium is currently produced from Vaal River operations by processing the reef material from Moab Khotsong, Great Noligwa and Kopanang in the Noligwa gold plant/South Uranium plant circuit by reverse leach process. Uranium production in South Africa begun in 1952, and reached peak production in the early 1980s in which …

Introduction Two types of uranium deposits are present in strata of the Karoo Supergroup in South Africa. These are: (1) fluvially-deposited, sandstone-hosted, peneconcordant, tabular deposits in the Late Permian lower Beaufort Group (Adelaide Subgroup) and Late Triassic Molteno and Elliot Formations within the main Karoo Basin, …
The Tumas uranium project is an open-pit uranium mining development by Australia-based company Deep Yellow Limited (DYL) in the Namibia region of South Africa. The initial scoping study for the project was completed in January 2020.

Almost complete dissolution ofthegoldand uranium was obtained, but itwas later found that concentrates ofagrade thatwould justify leaching with chlorine would berare. Attention wasthen …
Almost entirely unknown to the outside world, and even to most local residents, hundreds of square kilometres of South Africa's Karoo dryland have been bought up by uranium mining companies, writes Dr Stefan Cramer. With no strategic assessment of the industry's devastating impacts and massive water demand, official …
The uranium industry has experienced over two decades of inactivity with the closure of virtually all the smaller operations in North America, South Africa and Europe. During this period production has been sustained by a small group of companies that have dominated supply. More recently, the Beverley project in Australia and the Langer ...
The percolation technique was used to examine the leachability of uranium from El-Sela uranium mineralization. The agglomeration effect, particle size, flow rates, free acidity, solid/liquid ratio, and the ratio of cobblestone effect were all studied in the kinetics of uranium leaching. At a height of 3.0 m within the column, the optimal ratio of …

The recovery of uranium from quartz-pebble conglomerates of the Witwatersrand Basin is accomplished through sulphuric acid dissolution under oxidising conditions. At Cooke Section on the West Rand Goldfield, the extraction process has been plagued by low to moderate yields on the order of 40 to 75%, as opposed to a target …
that leaching uranium before gold improves liberation of gold from enclosing gangue, thereby improving recovery (Ford, 1993; Lottering et al., 2008; Pienaar et al., 2015).

Projects in South Africa, Namibia, Malawi and Niger have taken the opportunities presented. In 2007, South Africa, which traditionally produces uranium as a by-product of gold mining, saw its first greenfields uranium processing plant commissioned in several decades. This took the form of Uranium One's Dominion project.
• It is mainly used to recover certain metals from sulfide ores. This is much cleaner than the traditional leaching. • Started around the late 1940s in South Africa. Since then it has become a worldwide phenomena. • Bioleaching is used to recover copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, antimony, uranium, nickel, molybdenum, gold, silver and cobalt.
South Africa is home to the most uranium mines on the continent. Although Africa only has two nuclear power stations of its own, the continent produces 18% of the world's uranium supply.At Scribante Group, we provide expertise and equipment for companies looking to set up uranium mining ventures in South Africa. Read on to find …
Heap leaching of Witwatersrand tailings in a small scale (1 m 2, 0.3 m depth) yielded recoveries of 87% in 60 days (Livesey-Goldblatt, 1986). Bioleaching was not commercialized for uranium ...
2.1.1.3 Exploration for Uranium Ore Deposits. Exploration of uranium anomalies in the early days consisted of the most direct approach such as geological favorability involving places of known uranium minerals and hydrothermal mineralization, especially the existence of pathfinder elements like copper and lead, along with searches in favorable …

1. Introduction. Despite the utopian promise of electricity 'too cheap to metre', 1 nuclear power remains a minor source of electricity worldwide. In 2010 nuclear power accounted for 5.65% of total primary energy supply and was responsible for 12.87% of global electricity supply (IEA, 2012) — and both contributions have effectively been …

to leach uranium and generate acid. The autoclave discharge is combined with the cleaner scavenger tails, and the acid and ferric ions generated in the autoclave are used to leach more uranium and oxidize more sulphide in the cleaner tails. The product from the concentrate leach circuit is processed by resin in pulp for uranium recovery ...
It is also shown that for low grade uranium ores in the Witwatersrand context, the real value of uranium leaching could lie in the unlocking of extra gold (0.4–0.6 g/t) by the uranium …
