Uranium mill tailings impoundment in environment is a matter of public concern. Production & processing of large quantity of ore results in generation of large volume of tailings. Newer …
Understanding these deposits is paramount in accurately determining the uranium resource available and in designing in situ leach (ISL) patterns to minimize the volume of barren sand to be included in the leach field.
3. Uranium mining in India The uranium mining in India made an exciting beginning with the formation of Uranium Corporation of India Ltd. in 1967 under the Department of Atomic Energy. Since then, the uranium industry of the country has recorded phenomenal growth in production and up-gradation of technology.

But, sometimes the occurrence of uranium in sandstone provide an opportunity to recover the metal in an innovative method of extraction called IN-SITU LEACHING, provided some necessary geological and geo-technical conditions are met.
The extracted ore is processed at the Jaduguda Mill, where it undergoes crushing, wet grinding, and leaching to extract uranium, which is finally precipitated and dried as yellowcake. In 1968, UCIL began operations in Jadugoda, where it mined and processed uranium ore. The ore is extracted and supplied into the Jadugoda processing facility from ...

Uranium deposits with high carbonate content in India are mined using alkaline in situ leaching, while the bioleaching technique is employed in the uranium deposit characterized by high iron and sulfur content in Finland.
CO2 + O2 in-situ leaching (ISL) of sandstone-type uranium ore represents the third generation of solution mining in China. In this study, reactive transport modeling of the interaction between hydrodynamic and geochemical reactions is performed to enable better prediction and regulation of the CO2 + O2 in-situ leaching process of uranium. Geochemical …
A conventional uranium mill is a chemical plant that extracts uranium using the following process: Trucks deliver uranium ore to the mill, where it is crushed into smaller particles before being extracted (or leached). In most cases, sulfuric acid is the leaching agent, but alkaline solutions can also be used to leach the uranium from the ore.
