Process for the separation and recovery of molybdenum and uranium from leach solution using ion exchange

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6325158
;

A process is described for recovering uranium from a pregnant lixiviant containing uranium values and a certain portion of molybdenum values comprising passing the pregnant lixiviant through an anion-exchange resin to capture the uranium and molybdenum values on the resin, eluting the uranium and molybdenum values from the resin with a salt solution, passing the eluate through a weak acid cationic resin in its hydrogen form to capture the uranium values on the resin and treating and resulting eluate to precipitate uranium therefrom to produce the familiar ''yellow-cake.
