3D reactive transport model is an efficient tool to simulate uranium ISR operation: indeed the whole process is based on reacting fluid circulation in porous media. The simulation can help quantify the processes at stake and optimize the ore dissolution rate and the use of reagents. This study details the application of a 3D reactive transport approach using the code HYTEC at operation scale in Kazakhstan.
