Uranium Mining and Extraction from Ore
Uranium Extraction. Uranium leaching is the process by which the uranium is extracted from the raw ore by reacting the material with acid or base. Fig. 2 shows a general process flow for the uranium extraction process. Prior to the leaching process, the ore is often given preliminary treatments that can include roasting and grinding.
