Problems solved by technology

[0004] This method solves the problem of well washing wastewater treatment and arbitrary discharge to a certain extent, but with the development of the mining area, the amount of well washing wastewater is large, and the natural evaporation method cannot meet the needs of production, and there are many unsafe factors. Uranium cannot be effectively recovered, and it has adverse effects on environmental protection and land acquisition

Abstract

The invention provides a method for recycling well flushing waste water in in-situ leaching uranium exploration. The method comprises the steps that (a), well flushing waste water of a liquid pumping well and a liquid injection well for in-situ leaching uranium exploration is elevated to the ground surface and then settles through a settling basin, and underflow slurry of the settling basin is drained into an evaporation pond; (b) clean liquid 1 is fed into a hydrocyclone, clean liquid 2 discharged out from the hydrocyclone enters the step (c), and a sand-containing solution discharged out from the hydrocyclone returns to the settling basin for closed cycle treatment; (c) the clean liquid 2 enters a self-cleaning filter, clean liquid 3 is obtained through filtering and enters the step (d), and waste liquid generated by automatic reverse flushing enters the hydrocyclone for closed cycle treatment; (d) the clean liquid 3 enters a bag filter, and clean liquid 4 obtained through filtering enters a buffer pool; and (e) the clean liquid 4 in the buffer pool enters the liquid injection well through high-pressure injection. By means of the method, zero emission of waste water is realized, and the problems that due to outwards drainage of well flushing waste water, an evaporation pond occupies the land, environmental issues are caused and uranium recovery is difficult are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a wastewater treatment method for in-situ leaching uranium mining, and relates to a method for recycling well washing wastewater in the field of uranium mining and metallurgy, in particular to a method for recycling well washing wastewater for in-situ leaching uranium mining. Background technique [0002] In-situ leaching uranium mining is a uranium mining method that integrates mining and smelting to dissolve uranium in the ore from natural burial conditions through drilling engineering and chemical reagents without causing the ore to move. Drilling is the core of in-situ leaching uranium mining technology. The drilling project not only exposes the ore layer to obtain geological and hydrogeological data to form technological drilling, but also injects chemical reagents into the ore layer to dissolve the ore, enhance the leachate to obtain uranium metal and form a production well. [0003] In the in-situ leaching uranium minin...
