Intelligent technology potential in enhancement of in-situ uranium leach efficiency

Analysis of the open-access publications on in-situ uranium leaching technology and approaches to uranium production improvement for the latest 60 years in Russia and in the near and far abroad shows that the trends of enhancing in-situ leach efficiency touch upon individual designs of production sites and optimization of process wells during preparation and operation of production blocks. Peculiar geological, hydrogeological, mineralogical and morphogenetic conditions of paleovalley-related uranium deposits imply complications of the technologies of in-situ leach and pregnant solution processing. Improvement of the in-situ uranium leach efficiency embraces approaches both to uranium production system and to implementation of innovations in the advanced methods of the ‘Turnkey Production Block’ construction characterized by less capital investment, shorter terms of commissioning, and by higher performance and flexibility of production processes.
