TREATMENT OF URANIUM ORES FOR RECOVERY OF THE URANIUM CONTENT THEREOF
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4843009
An improved ferric sulfate leach process is outlined for recovering uranium from ores. In this process, the uranium is dissolved from the ore by leaching with sulfuric acid containing ferric sulfate, which converts the uranium into the uranyl form; the pulp is filtered and divided into two streams; oxygen and sulfur dioxide are passed into one stream to produce suifuric acid and ferric sulfate; and the treated stream is recirculated to the incoming ore. The other stream is diluted for uranium recovery by ion exchange. Heat exchange is provided between the cooled recycled filtrate and hot pulp. (D.L.C.)
