PROCEDURE FOR THE SELECTIVE DISPOSAL OF ARSENIC UNDER OXIDERING APPROACH BY A CARBONATED VEHICLE ON AN URBAN MAIL CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

A process for the selective removal of arsenical materials, in the course of a continuous hot oxidizing attack process, comprising attacking a uraniferous ore containing arsenical materials as impurities in the presence of an oxidizing agent in the reaction medium by means of an aqueous liquor formed by a recycling solution containing alkali metal carbonate and bicarbonate, and uranium close to the limit of solubility thereof, under concentration, temperature and pressure conditions which causes solubilization of the uranium present in the ore, and re-precipitation thereof in the attack medium, then collecting a suspension of a solid phase in a liquid phase which, after cooling, is subjected to a separation operation, recycling the liquid phase to the attack operation, and treating the separated solid phase by means of an aqueous liquor to re-dissolve the precipitated uranium which is characterized in that the arsenic which is solubilized in the attack operation is extracted by means of a magnesium compound which is introduced in an amount which is at least equal to the stoichiometric amount required to cause precipitation of magnesium arsenate.
