Uranium ore heap for heap leaching is a kind of loose media which is heaped by broken uranium ore with different sizes. In order to study the influence of the uranium ore particle size distribution on the heap leaching, five groups of uranium ore samples with different fractal dimensions of particle size distribution were prepared for indoor column leaching tests. The uranium concentration and pH of the pregnant solution at different times were determined, and the corresponding uranium recovery and the acid consumption were calculated. The results show that the larger the fractal dimension of ...
