Improved Method and apparatus for extracting Minerals containing Uranium

摘要

A process for the extraction of uranium from ores which is an improvement in the known "dry attack" treatment of uranium ores to an economical yet high rate of extraction. The process concerns solubilization of the uranium contained in the ores and consists of carrying out digestion of the mixtures of ore and reagent, with the possible addition of oxidizing agents. The process is carried out on an improved trough type of conveyor belt at predetermined conditioning of temperatures and humidity.
