The
beneficiation and research
center of N.F.P. has a goal to investigate
the
mineralogy,
mineral processing, beneficiation, preparation and leaching
of uranium ores and finally to determine the best methods
for beneficiation, Leaching, Extraction,
precipitation, purification and Recovery of the uranium
as the final products.
This center consist of two sections,
Research labs. And Engineering (according to the chart)
which are active in the following areas:
Sampling, crushing
grinding, preparation and mineral processing of all kinds of
minerals.
Research and determination of process-flow sheet, for
hydrometallurgy of the resources in bench -scale and pilot -plant.
Research
for comparison of lab and pilot-plant conditions.
Expansion of
Heap-Leaching methods, in-place, in-situ and bacteria
leaching.
Preparation of technical-specification and the
layout of pilot plant for production of yellow cake.
