ABSTRACT:
Process for the recovery of uranium from a pregnant lixiviant employed in uranium leaching operations in which the uranium is concentrated by ion exchange resin. The ion exchange resin is eluted with an eluant containing 0.05-0.5 molar ammonium carbonate. The eluant also contains a base such as ammonium hydroxide in an amount sufficient to increase the pH to a value within the range of 9.0-11.0, thus increasing the carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. This enables the use of a relatively small quantity of ammonium carbonate to provide the desired carbonate ion concentration during the elution step.
