Migration of Heavy Elements in Ground Water Following Uranium Solution Mining Operations
Abstract
The attached report presents simulation models and example output for the
analysis of heavy element migration in ground water from in-situ uranium
solution mining sites under conditions of ground water flow. The models are
one dimensional and include the effects of advection, dispersion, mass
transfer, and equilibrium for selected heavy elements. Previous laboratory
data for uranium, molybdenum, vanadium, selenium and arsenic were used to
obtain necessary mechanistic relationships used In the models. Hydrologic
characteristics and status of solution mining sites in Wyoming are
presented.
