SOMAIR Wikipedia SOMAIR (Société des Mines de l'Air) is a national mining company of Niger in the mining area of its northern zone. Established in 1968, it started uranium mining at the Arlit deposit in 1971, mining 0.30 0.35% ore down to depth of 60 metres (200 ft) depth. By 1981, the company was producing 2100 tU/yr and by 2006 it was producing 1565 tU at the Tamou deposit.Get Price

Somair-Arlit Terranova Technologies In 2007, Somaïr-Arlit began a transition to processing lower-grade uranium ore from depths exceeding 50 to 70 meters using heap leaching. The low operating costs of TNT’s mobile stacking systems helped to make this transition economically feasible for the client. This led to TNT creating the world’s first commercial-scale heap leachGet Price
Heap leaching Wikipedia Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from ore using a series of stone reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to theGet Price
Leaching behaviour and the solution consumption of leaching was introduced to the uranium industry in the 1950s by the Portuguese to extract uranium from low grade uranium ores (Scheffel, 2002). The environmental concerns, low grades and low commodity prices made heap leaching unattractive since there were still large amounts of high grade uranium ore globally available at that time. As theGet Price
(PDF) A comparison of uranium recovery from low-grade ore The ore initially contained from 0.15 to 0.20% of uranium in the form of uraninite, but ore samples used in the study contained about 0.05% of uranium, as it was exhausted during acid leachingGet Price
Abdou YACOUBA Industrial Projects Manager AREVA LinkedIn Since 1971 SOMAÏR, a subsidiary of AREVA has been mining several uranium deposits in North-Western Niger. The ore is mined in open pit from 50 to 70 meters. The Process is dynamic for high grade and heap leach process for low grade ore. Somaïr is certified ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.Get Price
Bioleaching: Introduction, Methods, Application, Copper (b) Heap Leaching: The ore is arranged in a big heap, which is treated with water as in slope leaching. The recovery of metals and other processes are conducted just like in slope leaching (Fig. 12.1b). (c) In-Situ Leaching: This process is carried with an ore which remains in its original location in the earth.Get Price

Heap Leaching an overview ScienceDirect Topics 2.1 Leaching. Most copper leaching is done by piling broken ore (∼0.5% Cu) into flat-surface, 3–10m high, 10 4 –10 5 m 2 heaps of ore and then sprinkling dilute sulfuric acid lixiviant on to the heap surface. The lixiviant trickles down through the heap and leaches copper from its minerals to produce a pregnant leach solution containing 1–5kg Cum −3.Get Price
Issues at Operating Uranium Mines and Mills Niger The uranium recovery rate achieved was rather low at 50% or less, though. From 1988 to 2009, more than 10 million t of low grade ore have been piled up at the site, with an average grade of 0.08% U.
