Selective uranium oxidation during in situ leaching

Abstract

O2, NaClO3, H2O2, NaOCl and Ce+4 have been examined as oxidants in an alkaline carbonate system for uranium in situ leaching. The South Texas and New Mexico ores contained up to 2.6 meq/g of reducing compounds that consume oxidants in the leaching operation. Leaching rates did not increase linearly with the oxidation potential of the oxidants. A mild oxidant can be used to maximize uranium oxidation selectivity and oxidant efficiency. O2 can oxidize most of the uranium mineral with an adequate rate and high oxidant efficiency.
