Uranium adsorbability from approximately 2M aluminum nitrate solutions is large enough to make recovery and purification feasible. Qualitative data indicate that adsorbed uranium may be rapidly and completely stripped from the resin by treatment with nitric acid-acidified water, yielding a concentrated uranyl nitrate product. The attainment of adsorption equilibriuin conditions from 2M aluminum nitrate solutions was extremely slow for the relatively coarse 16- to 20-mesh Dowex 21K resin used. However, adsorption kinetics may be increased appreciably by decreasing the resin particle size, raising the temperature, or making a judicious choice of nitrate salt molarity. (auth)
