ABSTRACT:
A process for removing molybdenum from uranium bearing solutions reduces molybdenum contamination of uranium product. The process employs solvent extraction techniques to remove molybdenum by using a molybdenum-selective extraction reagent of the chelating hydroxy-oxime type. The molybdenum-loaded extractant is stripped with dilute alkali for reuse. Where the uranium bearing solution originates from a solvent extraction process, a pretreatment stage is applied using an agent to remove entrained uranium extractant.
