The behaviour of sulphide phases during uranium processing is difficult to predict. Often the presence of sulphides indicates that more oxidant may be required and as a consequence, results in higher reagent consumption. ... Uranium enters the hydrological system when a river drains a uranium-fertile source (e.g. granite), while vanadium, also ...

We evaluated uranium bioleaching from low-grade, granite-type uranium ore using mixed acidophilic microbes from uranium mine leachate. A 4854-ton plant-scale heap bioleaching process achieved sustained leaching with a uranium leaching efficiency of 88.3% using a pH of 1.0–2.0 and an Fe 3+ dosage of 3.0–5.5 g/L. Acid consumption …

What is Granite? Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals.This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, …
