ELECTROLYTIC PRECIPITATION OF URANIUM FROM BELGIAN CONGO ION EXCHANGE RESIN ELUATES IN A THREE COMPARTMENT CELL

摘要

Electrolytic precipitation of Uranium from ion-exchange resin eluates has been investigated in a three-compartment cell. A relatively low-energy consumption is required and anodic attack is reduced to a negligible quantity. During the precipitation, acid is produced in sufficient quantity for use as eluant for subsequent eluting operations. The recovered uranium is in the form of a rapid settling, fast filtering precipitate which is easily washed with water to reduce the chloride content to a tolerable concentration.
