PROGRESS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD MAY 1, 1952 TO JUNE 30, 1952

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4315931

Investigation of the sodium-amalgan reduction of carbonate leach solution was continued. Additional tests on the reaction characteristics of the process are presented. Tests were continued to obtain information on the operatiorul characteristics of various types and modifications of column contactors in order to evolve a design best suited for use in a continuous production operation. Work was started on a progran for the further investigation of electrolytic reduction of carbonate leach solutions. A diaphragm cell which was designed and constructed for the initial tests is described. The results are presented from a group of exploratory tests made to investigate the possibilities of using char sorption as a step in a process for the separation and/or recovery of uranium amd vanadium.
