Recovery of uranium from a mixture of western uranium ore and phosphate rock
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5835127
An otherwise unusable western sandstone uranium ore is blended with uranium-containing phosphate rock. The mixture is then digested with sulfuric acid to produce a wet process phosphoric acid solution containing higher levels of uranium. Recovery of the uranium values from this solution can be effected by various known processes such as solvent extraction.
