CATALYZED OXIDATION OF URANIUM IN CARBONATE SOLUTIONS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4790964

A process is given wherein carbonate solutions are employed to leach uranium from ores and the like containing lower valent uranium species by utilizing catalytic amounts of copper in the presence of ammonia therein and simultaneously supplying an oxidizing agent thereto. The catalysis accelerates rate of dissolution and increases recovery of uranium from the ore. (AEC)
