202067Mechanism of Uranium Leaching Uranium leaching with sulphuric acid is a complex process governed by chemical dissolution, and the oxidation of uranium.It is controlled by surface etching, diffusion, and mass transfer within the ore. The physical parameters are in turn controlled by the physical properties of ore, and the ore size.

202066Heap leaching is used to extract gold, copper, silver, uranium, and iodine. This method was first employed to extract copper at the Bluebird mine in the US in the early 1960s, and then by several gold mines in the western parts of the US a few years later. Since then, heap leaching has been adopted successfully by many mines across the world.
