URANIUM RECOVERY FROM ORES WITH HYDROCHLORIC
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4821765
A process is given for recovering uranium values from ores by solvent extraction. This is accomplished by disintegrating the ore and contacting it with an aqueous medium containing free hydrochloric acid so that a slurry is obtained and any lime is converted to ealcium chloride. The acidulated ore slurry is partially dried and is then contacted with acetone for extraction. During this leaching step an extremely fast and complete settling of the ore is obtained if the ore particles are in a state of agglomeration caused by the presence of calcium chloride. For these reasons, the ore should contain some lime or limestone which will react with hydrochloric acid to form the necessary amount of calcium chloride.
