TWO-STAGE FLOTATION TREATMENT OF URANIUM ORE FROM FARADAY URANIUM MINES LIMITED
Two series of laboratory flotation tests were carried out to study the treatment of Faraday ore by two-stage flotation. First the acid-consumers and then the uranium minerals were floated. On ore ground in the Faraday mill grinding circuit, and using Faraday mill water in the flotation step, a recovery in the flotation concentrate of from 91 to 93% of the uranium was obtained in 45 to 50% of the weight at a grade of 0.24% U/sub 3/C/sub 8/. The saving of acid in leaching the uranium-bearing flotation concentrate, as compared to leaching the whole ore, ranged from 30 to 46%. The average overall extraction resulting from flotation and leaching of the flotation concentrate was 88.1%. The best collector for the acid-consumers was sodium oleate. Acintol FA-1 emulsion was the best collector for the uranium minerals, and, in the uranium flotation step, and acid pH in the slurry was found to be necessary. The reagent costs were estimated to be 22 to 28 cents per ton of ore. (Atomdokumentation, Vol. 5, No. 19, Oct. 1953)
