Uranium Resource Development and Sustainability—Indian Case Study
Ore Processing. Uranium ore is processed through hydro-metallurgical route in one of the two ways—acid leaching or alkali leaching depending on the ore characteristics. Both Jaduguda and Turamdih process plants in Singhbhum Shear Zone are based on acid leaching. The mined out ore undergoes crushing and grinding followed by …
Uranium mining
Uranium ore processing: from leaching to concentration. The ore is crushed immediately upon exiting the mine, then turned into a solution using chemical reactants. This ore treatment process, referred to as lixiviation, precedes the purification stage.
