The purpose of these steps is to isolate the uranium complexes from other metals and can be done using standard chemical purification processes, such as ionexchange resins [4] Alternative methods for uranium production are in development, including insitu leaching to improve uranium Purification and concentration r Precipitation and solidliquid separation t Drying or calcining Uranium concentrate 'Tailings FIG 1 Generalized process for uranium extraction (c) Solidliquid separation and washing The pregnant liquor is separated from the leached ore, which is then washed to remove the remaining dissolved uraniumMANUAL FOR URANIUM ORE PROCESSINGPolish uranium ores are black shale and sandstonetype deposits [34,35] Uranium is usually accompanied by other valuable metals, among them REE [36] (PDF) Extraction of uranium from lowgrade polish
Uranium is extracted from the ores by an array of unit operations comprising of mining and milling of the ore for producing intermediate grade concentrate called yellow cake which is later refined to give nucleargrade end product [16–19]Production of yellow cake from the mined ore is exclusively carried out by hydrometallurgical processes worldwide [] Ores containing hexavalent uranium These ores are less common and usually of secondary origin They are readily dissolved in dilute acid or carbonate solutions, although an oxidant may be needed to prevent reduction through the presence of other species or ferrous iron introduced through grinding media or present in the oreUranium extraction: the key process J driversb) 05 g of ground uranium ores MnO 2 were placed in a round bottom glass equipped with a back cooler, then 2 ml of 18% Na 2 CO 3 , and 25 ml of 8% NaOH were added followed by 05 ml of 30% H 2 O 2 (1% of total mass sample) Cu, V was observed in that case The other metals, like Th, Yb, Co, Ni were not extracted from the sandstone ores(PDF) Extraction of uranium from lowgrade Polish
