RECOVERY OF URANIUM FROM CONGO LEACH LIQUORS WITH ION EXCHANGE RESINS. Topical Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4827468

A method is described for recovering uranium from sulfuric acid leach liquors of Congo ores using anion exchange resins. Excellent uranium recoveries were obtained in cyclic tests which indicate uranium capacities of ll to 26 lbs of U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ per cubic foot of resin per day. Preliminary tests indicate that sulfuric acid may be as effective as hydrochloric acid in providing the required acidity in the eluant. (auth)
