RECOVERY OF URANIUM BY PRECIPITATION AS PEROXIDE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4163729
Uranium recovery from uranyl sulfate solutions by peroxide precipitation is described. Boric acid is used to inhibit fluoride precipitation. In an example, a roasted slag was dissolved in H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ by a process described in patent No. 829,088, the pH adjusted to 3.7. After adding boric acid the U peroxide was precipitated by adding H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ and NaOH to pH at 3.0. The fluorine content of the precipitate was 0.5% compared to 2gm/liter in the original solution. (T.R.H.)
