What is uranium solvent extraction (SX)?

Uranium solvent extraction (SX) from aqueous acidic solutions is reviewed. First the uranium availability in earth as well as resources, mining and production reports is presented and followed by SX basic flowsheet and various important stages. Extraction, scrubbing, stripping and finally solvent equilibrium are presented in a flow-sheet form.

What is solvent extraction and ion exchange?

Solvent extraction and ion exchange are well developed and commercially used processes of separation of uranium from post-leaching solutions. Treatment involves removal of associated metals, such as molybdenum, vanadium, iron, arsenic, zinc, copper, nickel and rare earth elements.

How is uranium recovered from phosphate ore in Sudan?

Abdelmajid et al. (2014), investigated the uranium recovery from phosphate ore from the Uro region in Sudan . Initially, the phosphate ore samples were digested with concentrated nitric acid. The phosphoric acid was produced from the resulting powder with the aid of sulfuric acid at 80?¡ãC. 4.2. Alkaline extraction

What extractants are used for uranium extraction?

The second half of the review discusses the various extractants used for uranium extraction and separation from acidic solutions. The extractants are divided in four types: 1) nitrogen-based extractants, 2) phosphorous-based extractants, 3) sulfur-based extractants, and 4) other extractants.
