Abstract:
      Uranium heap leached tailings have been microbial heap leached for 49 days with spray quantity of 80 m3/d and L/S=0.49 by intermittent spraying as one day on and one day off. Uranium leaching rate is 4.62% with uranium concentration in solution of 50 mg/L above. This method effectively addresses difficulty of uranium leaching and low leaching efficiency in later period of heap leaching, and improves uranium concentration in unit leaching solution.
