LIQUID LITHIUM EXTRACTION OF THORIUM FROM THORIUM-MAGNESIUM ALLOY
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4752988
A process for recovering Th from Th-Mg alloy, utilizing liquid Li extraction, was investigated. Dissolution of Th--Mg alloy in liquid Li metal resulted in the formation of a Li-Mg alloy solution and the precipitation of Th as a finely divided solid. Th separation was accomplished by filtration through stainless steel filters. Over 99.7% of the introduced Th was recovered in the precipitated residue. The concentration and final consolidation of separated Th was briefly studied. (auth)
