An Evaluation of the Sampling of Low Grade Uranium Ores


Book Description

A uranium ore sampling plant is described. A flow-sheet is given and each step involving a reduction in sample size or a measurement of % H2O or % U3O of the sample was evaluated. In addition to the sampling plant tests, a detailed study of the magnitude of the dust losses during pulverization of the analytical sample and the effect of these losses on the % U3O8 in the sample was completed. The efficiency of blending heterogenous minus 115 mesh ore sample composites was tested.
