Uranium recovery from carbonate leach liquors using carboxylic acid cation exchange resin

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5263317
A process is described for quantitatively recovering uranium from a carbonate solution including uranium ions, the carbonate solution having a pH in the range from about 4.2 to about 9.8. The process consists of: causing the carbonate solution including uranium ions to come in contact with a carboxylic acid cation exchange resin so that uranium cations are removed from solution and adsorbed by the resin; and removing the uranium cations from the cation exchange resin.
