RECOVERY URANIUM FROM MATERIAL CONTAINING URANIUM AND MOLYBDENUM

Patent · Wed Dec 13 00:00:00 EST 1961

OSTI ID:4827270

ln processes for extracting U from its ores using liquid amine extractants, Mo has caused some operating difficulty in that it often precipitates as a complex with the amine in the process and interferes with the efficient separation of the U. A method for circumventing this difficulty is given in which the amine extractant containing the U and Mo is scrubbed with a dilute aqueous solution of H/sup 2/O/sup 2/ to maintain Mo in the molybdate state. The treated extractant is then stripped by an aqueous NaCl solution. (D.L.C.)
