Brown, K B

In recovering Mo from Amex nitrate strip solutions by adsorption on activated carbon, no significant loss of Mo adsorption power was observed in five cycles of adsorption and elution. Using synthetic carbonate leach liquors, a flowsheet for recovering U by extraction with a quaternary ammonium compound in kerosene--tridecanol and precipitation of U from the solvent with sodium carbonate-sodium hydroxide solution was tested in continuous equipment. The recovery of technetium and neptunium from fluorination plaat residues is reported. Recovery of fission product strontium from synthetic Purex 1-WW was continued. The extraction of Th by di-n-decylamine sulfate was examined as a function of aqueous sulfuric acid activity at constant aqueous sulfate ion concentration. (For preceding period see CF-60-1-119.)
