IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ALKALINE TREATMENT OF URANIUM ORES USING ION EXCHANGE RESINS (in French)

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4031885

The alkaline leaching of U ores can be followed by an oxidation treatment with ozone. The leach solution is passed on an anionic resin which retains the U values. The U is washed out with an eluant (NaCl or NaNO/sub 3/) and precipitated as sodium uranate by adding NaOH. The residual alkaline solution is recycled on the resin, and the resulting solution treated with Ca(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ or CaCl/sub 2/ in order to reconstitute the primary eluant. (EURATOM)
