Journal Article · · Nuclear Eng.
OSTI ID:4345796
Uranium having a very low phosphate content is extracted from phosphatic ores by treatment with concentrated suifuric acid. A system is formed comprising a liquld sulfuric acid--phosphoric acid phase and a solid phase containing all or the greater part of uranium content of the ore and the solid phase is then separated out by centrifugal means. The solid phase obtained is taken up with water and treated with a soluble barium salt and filtered.
