Uranium Processing Plants

After drilling and blasting in the open pit uranium mine or underground mine, the hard rock uranium ore from the stope will be transported to the uranium ore processing plant.
In the uranium ore crushing plant, the ore is transported to primary crushers like heavy duty jaw crusher and large scale cone crusher for crushing.
Grinding mill plays an important role in the uranium ore processing plant after the crushing process.

In the uranium ore processing plant, the uranium ore is delivered to the primary crushers, then the ores are normally processed by grinding the ore materials to a uniform particle size and then treating the ore to extract the uranium by chemical leaching. The milling process commonly yields dry powder-form material consisting of natural uranium, "yellowcake," which is sold on the uranium market as U3O8.

Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia are the top three producers, the other uranium producing countries are Namibia, Russia, Niger, Uzbekistan, and the United States. And South Australia operates the world's largest known uranium resource.

"SBM makes the practicality of crushing and grinding machine in uranium processing applications very economical."

Uranium Crushing Machine Cone Crusher

After primary crushing, the uranium ore is reduced to 20cm in diameter, then the crushed ore will be conveyed to the coarse crushing machine for further crushing.

The crushed uranium passed through a further three crushing stages, further reducing its size to the consistency of fine sand. The final size will be down to 2mm, then the screening plant will sieve and separate the crushed uranium ore to the demand size. After weighing, the uranium ore will be stored on a stockpile for grinding.

Large scale stationary uranium ore crushing plant is available for the clients.

"SBM mobile crusher plant concept can be adapted for all mobile crushing applications, opening up new business opportunities for us."

Uranium Grinding Mills

Construction of the uranium ore concentration plant, and in particular, of the design and construction of the grinding process line is the key for uranium recovery.

Wet grinding plant in in-situ leach plant is used to grind the crushed ore grains by means of steel ball mill for reducing the uranium ore fine enough with the consistency of mud. The ball mill, rod mill is utilised as required by production levels and operate in parallel.

The high capacity ball mill manufactured by SBM Machinery grinding the uranium ore in a rotating cylinder using large pieces of the ore instead of conventional steel balls or rods. The grinding mill features low consumption, easy operation etc.

"SBM grinding machines have turn out to requires little maintenance and have long wear life."
