ABSTRACT:
This invention can treat a uranium-containing solution of high or low concentration and/or the waste generated from uranium conversion processes, etc. It is characterized by the use of acorns, nuts of oak tree, which can be easily obtained in our botanical system. By coprecipitating the uranium or other heavy metal elements with the extract of acorns, this invention can not only recover the uranium of other heavy metal elements but also can reduce them before being discharged to the environmental radioactivity level.
