Uranium Leaching from Low-Grade Uranium Ore by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans에 의한 저품위 우라늄 광석으로부터 우라늄 침출
Abstract
The experiments were conducted in the leaching of aqueous uranium from low-grade uranium ore by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The optimal concentration of ferrous iron in 9K medium was 16.2g/L when the uranium ore concentration in slurry was 40g/L. The leaching rates were increased by decreasing the particle size of uranium ore and by increasing uranium ore concentration. In the leaching experiments in an agitated vessel reactor, only 39.3% of uranium was leached out within 12 days, which was comparable as that in the shaking incubator, without any notable improvement. Hence, it was observed that an agitated vessel reactor was not effective in the leaching of uranium from uranium ore by T. ferrooxidans. In the leaching experiments in a draught-tube reactor, the maximum concentration of uranium leached and cell number were a 12.8mg/L and
