Abstract
TIMA analysis on a residue produced under the most intense set of leaching conditions (90 °C, O2 sparged) showed that the extent of coffinite dissolution was greater than that of brannerite dissolution during leaching. Likewise, the TIMA analyses showed that the extent of apparent uranium liberation decreased during leaching, due to poorly liberated particles remaining undissolved. These results indicate that alkaline leaching could be a viable method for the processing of these long overlooked ores provided that the uranium is sufficiently liberated.
