Abstract
In this study, the feasibility and optimization of recovering uranium from the tailings of the Meidok copper plant using heap leaching on a laboratory scale were investigated. The initial phase involved evaluating the agglomeration process and stabilizing particles. Parameters such as drum speed, acidity level, coarse-to-fine particle ratio, and residence time were examined and optimized. Following the optimization of the agglomeration process, column leaching tests (heap leaching method) with dimensions of 50 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter were performed. The selection of an appropriate and optimized heap leaching system considered parameters like solution injection rate, pH, and...
