Application of new Sorptive polymers for leaching of metal containing ore

The article deals with the problem of wastes disposal, which are produced from gold and uranium ore production. The article proposes novel method for disposal and burial of the wastes by means of leaching inside of opencast pits. In the scientific work complex approach is used, including analytic methods for the theoretical justification of temperature variations inside of the leached volume, analysis methods for calculated and experimental data processing, laboratory experiments for the determination of mechanical and thermal parameters of leached ores. The article contributes into the world scientific experience in the context of processing and disposal of wastes created by gold and uranium ore production. The authors for the first time proved that during the combined disposal of gold and uranium ores by means of heap leaching inside of the opencast mine the environmental pollution by dust and leaching solutions will be minimal if the heaps are formed at the bottom of the open pit mine. Temperature variations are in direct proportion with the total power of radioactive radiation sources and specific heat emission from ore leaching processes. For the proper estimation of the combined gold and uranium ores leaching methods the ecologic-economic factor should be used, which takes into consideration the burials of wastes inside of the exploited opencast mine.
