【美国《核燃料》1987年2月23日刊第5页报道】丹尼森矿业公司发现,它的伊里奥特湖矿床的铀矿石,用细菌堆浸法处理在商业上是可行的。所谓细菌堆浸,主要是指利用矿水中的细菌将一些铁盐分解,以得到的硫酸来浸出矿石中的铀。去年,这个矿生产了520万磅U_3O_8,其中堆浸法的产量占 [United States, “Nuclear Fuel,” February 23, 1987, p. 5] Denison Mining found that its uranium ore at the Eliot Lake deposit is commercially viable with bacterial heap leaching. The so-called bacterial heap leaching mainly refers to the use of bacteria in mineral water to decompose some iron salts, and leaching the uranium in the ore with the obtained sulfuric acid. Last year, the mine produced 5.2 million pounds of U_3O_8, of which heap leaching accounted for
