Removal of uranium from sulphate solutions containing molybdenum
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5716223
A process for recovering uranium values from a sulphate solution containing dissolved uranium and molybdenum and with a pH not exceeding about 5.5, includes reacting the solution with ammonia at a pH in the range of from about 8 to about 10, without the solution existing for any significant time at a pH of around 7, with resultant precipitation of uranium values relatively uncontaminated by molybdenum. The uranium containing precipitate is separated from the remaining solution while maintaining the pH of the remaining solution within the same range.
