Abstract
In connection with the extensive use of pyrolusite in the sulfuric acid leaching of uranium from ores, a study was made of the reaction between UO2 and MnO2 in a sulfuric acid solution,and possible mechanisms were discussed. The experimental data show that the reaction apparently occurs at the points of contact of the hydrated surface layers of UO2 and MnO2; the rate of the process is limited by steric hindrances. On this basis the role of iron ions was also considered in the reaction between a solid oxidizing agent (pyrolusite) and primary minerals of uranium in the acid leaching of uranium-containing ores.
