Application of Refinement in"111"Product Quality Improvement
The fine management model was introduced in a"CO2+O2"in-situ leaching uranium mine in Inner Mongolia,and the processes of adsorption,leaching,acidification and precipitation which af-fect the quality of production were carefully managed.The preparation of eluent was optimized from"settling mother liquor+sodium bicarbonate+hydrochloric acid+sodium chloride"to"settling mother liquor+sodium bicarbonite+water",the pH of eluent was maintained at 9.5~10.0,and reducing the accumulation of chloride ion in the system.The peak mass concentration of uranium in the eluate was increased and maintained at 80~130 g/L.The amount of hydrochloric acid added in the acidification process is automatically controlled,the pH is accurately controlled in 4.5~4.6,and the ratio of carbon to uranium in the qualified liquid is further reduced.Adjust the flow rate of leachate to keep the average mass concentration of uranium in 30~70 g/L,to reduce the influence of mass con-centration of uranium on product quality.Control slurry precipitation time,to improve slurry pressure filtration effect.After the optimization of production parameters,the moisture content of the product decreased by 8.50%,the uranium content increased by 2.88%,and the product quality was improved as a whole.
