Abstract:
      In order to enhance extraction of uranium from low-sulfur uranium ore, bioleaching combined with different type pyrites were used to improve uranium leaching rate. The results show that pH value of pyrite system is lower than that of leaching system without pyrite addition, which provides a relatively good bioleaching environment. Fe2+ can be oxidized rapidly and Eh value rises severely by adding pyrite. Compared with blank control group, leaching rate of uranium in pyrite system rises obviously by 1.73%—5.53%. SEM analysis results show that jarosite precipitation on surface of uranium ore is obviously reduced by adding pyrite.
