The effect of surfactant on improving the leaching rate of uranium was studied under both batch and column experiments. Batch experiments show that surfactant DMSS can improve the leaching rate and the the surface tension is decreased about 55.29%. 70 mg/l DMSS has the highest leaching rate of uranium , which close to the micellar concentration of DMSS. In the column study, with the addition of DMSS, the leaching rate of uranium is improved 8.3%. Thus the surfactant DMSS can accelerate leaching of uranium.
