Methods for more economical operation of the SO/sub 2/-air process were developed, and the process was successfully applied to the Rand leaching problems. Low-grade manganese ore was found to be a suitable source of MnO/sub 2/ for use in the leaching process. Lime used to precipitate uranium from leach and carbonate solutions produced a lowgrade precipitate from the leach solution but a high-grade precipitate from the carbonate solutions. Acid digestion used with leach process Y gave an indicated overall extraction of only 64%, but this was 88% of the uranium which was extracted by acid leaching. (auth)
