PRELIMINARY STUDIES OF THE ABSORPTION OF URANIUM IN A RESIN-IN-PULP SYSTEM
Data were obtained ln nonflowing and flowing (continuous) batch adsorption systems to serve as a guide to the operating conditions that should be used in a resin-in-pulp adsorption system for the recovery of uranium from ores. Most of the work was done with artificial solutions rather than pulps. In nonflowing systems, studies were made to determine the effect of uranium loading and resin type on the time required to reach equilibrium. The effect of contact time, number of contacts and ratlo of solution to resin on adsorption and elution was also determined. In flowing systems the effect of residence time, total cycle time, ratio of solution to resin, and number of cells on adsorption and elution was investigated. A complete cyclic test was conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the process. (auth)
