Abstrakt: The raw material basis of the uranium industry is presently formed by poor, often complex ores, which are processed on a very large scale. The net cost of uranium production based on this material has been reduced by employing processes which are more effective and economic and by extensive automation. The article gives a review of the present level and development trends of uranium ore processing (mechanical concentration, preparation, leaching, separation processes, sorption, extraction) and the conditions for the use of these processes for ores of different composition. The basic industrial systems of processing the principal types of ores are described. A detailed analysis is given of the basic technical-economic indices of uranium ore processing factories.
