REMOVAL OF MOLYBDENUM IN PROCESSING AAA PITCHBLENDE ORE LABORATORY RESEARCH DURING PERIOD OF AUGUST 1, 1945 TO OCTOBER 31, 1945

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4347824
Four methods for the removal of Mo in processing pitchblende ores containing 25 to 65% U/sub 3/C/sub 8/ are extensively described. The methods are entitled: The Charcoal Methods. The Xanthate and Other Extraction Methods, The Polyhydric Alcohol Methods, and The Iron-Phosphate Complex Methods. Of the four methods only one is worth consideration as an alternative to the double extraction method. The iron method can compete as to cost and is simple to use. The recommendations made are to continue with plans to use the double extraction, test the iron method in the pilot plant columns, and hold the iron method as an alternative or supplement to the double extraction.
