Mar 01, 2019#0183;#32;The ion exchange process used to extract uranium from the leaching solution is based on the high binding constants of the anionic sulfate complexes of uranium relative to the anion on the anion exchange resin (chloride), primarily due to their higher negative charge. The major species in solution is the uranyl trisulfate tetraanion.

Groundwater Remediation. Uranium is a natural element found in groundwater throughout the world and regulated in some countries. Uranium is usually present as the monovalent uranyl ionic complex (U3O8) at very low levels in groundwater and thus the most cost effective treatment is to remove the uranium with a highly selective ion exchange resin and then dispose of the uraniumloaded resin.
Prior to final purification, uranium present in acidic solutions produced by the ionexchange or solventextraction processes described above, as well as uranium dissolved in carbonate ore leach solutions, is typically precipitated as a polyuranate. From acidic solutions, uranium is precipitated by addition of neutralizers such as sodium hydroxide, magnesia, or (most commonly) aqueous ammonia.
Mill chemistry. The crushed and ground ore, or the underground ore in the case of ISL mining, is leached with sulfuric acid: UO 3 + 2H + ====gt; UO 2 2+ + H 2 O UO 2 2+ + 3SO 4 2====gt; UO 2 (SO 4) 3 4. The UO 2 is oxidised to UO 3.. With some ores, carbonate leaching is used to form a soluble uranyl tricarbonate ion: UO 2 (CO 3) 3 can then be precipitated with an alkali, as sodium
where the uranium is recovered in a resin ion exchange (IX) or liquid ion exchange (solvent extraction SX) system. IX is used in the vast majority of ISL operations in Kazakhstan, the USA and Australia. In terms of operating and capital costs IX is the preferred processing option. In situations where the
Heap leach/ionexchange operations involve the following process: Small pieces of uncrushed ore are placed in a quot;heapquot; on an impervious pad of plastic, clay, or asphalt, with perforated pipes under the heap. An acidic solution is then sprayed over the ore to dissolve the uranium it contains.
Clean iX#174; Continuous Ion Exchange. Clean TeQs CleaniX #174; continuous ion exchange process provides highly efficient extraction and purification for a range of valuable strategic metals from slurries and solutions.. The base technology for the CleaniX #174; process was developed by the All Russian Research Institute of Chemical Technology (ARRICT) over a period of 40 years.
Our CRIP technology uses a continuous counter current ion exchange process that directly extracts metals from leached pulps (up to 50% w/w solids) and with high resin concentrations (up to 40%v/v). The resin and slurry are mixed directly, and moved counter currently in a series of columns, maximising the efficiency of the process and recovery of target metals.
Most US uraniumproducing states are ''agreement states'' vis a vis the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and have authority to issue permits and regulate uranium mining and milling. The NRC''s role is then minimal. In February 2015 Wyoming, the major uranium production state, passed legislation to make it an agreement state, along with all the other uraniumproducing states.
