Mechelynck, Ph.

After an examination of the different processes for the treatment of uranium minerals, it is concluded that the extraction of uranium by ion exchange is not applicable to hydrochloric acid solutions of phosphates. A sulfuric or phosphoric solution can be used. For solvent extraction of uranium, sulfuric or phosphoric solutions are the best, but hydrochloric solutions can be used. The cost of the solvents used would determine the cost of the operation. It is necessary, in the case of liquid-liquid extraction, to filter or decant the solution before extraction. (tr-auth)
