Abstract:
      One-dimensional model of in situ uranium acid leaching was established with reaction transport simulation software PHT3D to clarify temporal and spatial evolution of uranium hydrolysis and migration during in situ uranium leaching under strong acid and low oxygen concentration condition. The simulation results show that uranium dissolution produces the most tetravalence uranium followed by hexavalent uranium as the second; the values of pe (electric potential) and pH of aqueous solution are related to change of concentration of main liquidus components. Curves of pe and pH are related, and the intersection point is the starting point of significant change of main liquidus components concentration. Uranium deposit will not only dissolve but also accompany phenomenon of micro-generation of uranium, and amount of dissolved precipitate is related to position.
