FLOTATION OF URANIUM ORES FROM THE ELLIOT LAKE AREA, ONTARIO. Technical Bulletin TB 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4183200

The method and results of a series of flotation tests on several Elliot Lake uranium ores are given. The reagents used were NaOH and Na/sub 2/SiC/sub 3/ in a desliming step, and tall oil fatty acid, Acintol FA-1 or FA-2, was used as collector. The average recovery obtained was 92% in about 55% of the weight. The leach feed was up-graded from 0.1 to about 0.2% U/sub 3/O/sub 8/. The cost of the flotation reagents would be 25 to 30 cents per ton. A saving of about 20 cents per lb of uranium would be effected. (auth)
