Summary. There are over 400 power stations in the world which rely on uranium as their fuel source. The mining and milling of the uranium fuel's raw material is a process which leaves behind substantial volumes of a radioactive waste product, the uranium mill tailings.
12.1.1 Milling uranium ore Uranium is mined using open pit, underground, or in situ recovery operations. In some cases, uranium ore concentrate (UOC) is produced as a byproduct of other mining operations. For an open pit mine, the mining operation begins with removing the top layer of soil to expose the ore.

Mill chemistry. The crushed and ground ore, or the underground ore in the case of ISL mining, is leached with sulfuric acid: UO 3 + 2H + ====> UO 2 2+ + H 2 O UO 2 2+ + 3SO 4 2-====> UO 2 (SO 4) 3 4-. The UO 2 is oxidised to UO 3.. With some ores, carbonate leaching is used to form a soluble uranyl tricarbonate ion: UO 2 (CO 3) 3 4-.This can then be precipitated …
While each uranium mill is specifically designed to process the exact source ore being milled, the general overview remains fairly consistent. After mining, ores containing uranium pass through a circuit of processes that includes crushing and grinding, followed by a series of chemical treatments and filtration to remove undesirable materials and extract the …

URANIUM: AN OVERVIEW What is Uranium? Uranium is one of the heaviest of all metals --a solid piece as large as a soft-drink can weighs about 17 pounds. It is also one of the most widespread. Traces of uranium are found almost everywhere in rocks formed millions of years ago, in coal, in ocean water, and in ground and stream water.
**This independent research reached similar conclusions to those in the new occasional paper by CNS, "Monitoring Uranium Mining and Milling in China and North Korea through Remote Sensing Imagery," published around the same time. We recommend reading their report for a more in-depth look at this and other potential uranium mines in North Korea.

uranIuM MIllInG Milling is generally carried out close to a uranium mine. The mined uranium ore is crushed and chemically treated to separate the uranium. The result is 'yellow cake', a yellow powder of uranium oxide (U 3O 8). In yellow cake the uranium concentration is raised to more than 80%.

Uranium mining and milling Overview The largest uranium ore deposits are found in Asia, Canada, Australia and Africa. Most of the world's uranium is mined in these countries. There are some uranium ore deposits in the UK but they are too small to be economic and so no commercial mining happens in this country.
