Heap Leaching: Extending Applications | E MJ
At Alta''s uranium conference in 2009, Alan Taylor described how heap leaching for uranium is increasing in popularity, initially using acidleach technology, but with future projects aiming to use alkaline leaching on lowgrade ores. This marks a shift from the original projects, he said, which were often satellite operations feeding conventional agitated acidleaching plants, with recoveries in the range of 50% to
