PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES
For beneficiation of uranium ore, Tenova Mining &
Minerals liaises with suppliers and evaluates equipment
to make unbiased selections of the best equipment for
the job.
For stockpiling, materials handling, environmental
protection and waste disposal, Tenova Mining &
Minerals draws upon its comprehensive in-house and
licensed range of engineered technologies, or selects
the most appropriate equipment from other suppliers.
Tenova Mining & Minerals is a total integrated solutions provider to the global mining, bulk materials handling and
minerals beneficiation and processing sectors, offering innovative technological solutions and full process and
commodity knowledge across the mining industry value chain.
Tenova Mining & Minerals provides the full range of capabilities to convert run-of-mine (ROM) uranium-bearing ore into
saleable products, to integrate engineering and process know-how in the development and optimisation of plant designs,
and to deliver processing facilities that meet global environmental standards.
Comminution
The most energy efficient and cost effective systems are
selected and designed for mechanical liberation and
exposure of uranium minerals, in all types of ores.
Conventional crushing and milling.
Autogenous and semi-autogenous milling.
Fine milling.
Computer modelling maximises use of available data to
assess and select the most appropriate comminution
circuit, to achieve the required size reduction of the ore
needed for efficient uranium extraction.
Feed Preparation
Suitably sized material can be
Thickened and density controlled.
Agglomerated for heap-leach applications.
Pre-concentration
Tenova Mining & Minerals applies its experience in
processing many different ore types to the effective preconcentration of ore, significantly reducing the size of the
uranium recovery plant that will be required.
Flotation conventional mechanical and column flotation cells.
Radiometric sorting.
Gravity concentration.
URANIUM RECOVERY
Ion Exchange (IX) and Solvent Extraction (SX) are used
for concentration and recovery of uranium from pregnant
leach liquors.
Direct access to laboratories and test facilities is available
to obtain data required to select and design processes
most suited to each application.
Solution Clarification
Clarified leach liquors minimise crud formation in SX
circuits.
Pinned Bed Clarifiers can be combined with sand filters
to offer very low suspended-solids counts in overflows,
with designed outflow clarities of less than 30 ppm solids
and even as low as 20 ppm. Their benefits include
Lower capital and operating cost than pressure filters
alone.
Operationally robust and stable.
Within the design range, clarity of the product is not
affected by the amount of solids in the feed or
fluctuations in the feed flow rate.
