Preliminary Pilot Plant Investigation of the Acid Leach - CCD - Solvent Extraction Process as Applied to White Canyon Ores


Book Description

The preliminary operation of the Acid Leach - CCD - Solvent Extraction Pilot Plant at Grand Junction, Colorado, was conducted from November 8, 1956 to January 3, 1957 using White Canyon ores. The report contains information on the grinding, leaching, and liquid-solid separation by continuous countercurrent decantation. Detailed information is presented on the liquid-liquid solvent extraction of the leach liquor using organic solvents containing di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid or triisooctyl amine. Results show White Canyon ores to be amenable to the Acid Leach - CCD - Solvent Extraction process. Using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid, reagent consumptions were relatively high, whereas with triisooctyl amine excellent recovery of uranium was obtained with moderate reagent requirements.






















Acid Leach - CCD - Solvent Extraction Pilot Plant Testing of Holly Minerals Company Ore


Book Description

During the period of February 10 to May 8, 1958, Holly Blend ore from the Holly Minerals Company of the Ambrosia Lake district in New Mexico was treated in the Acid Leach - Contercurrent Decantation - Solvent Extraction Pilot Plant at Grand Junction, Colorado. This report contains detailed information on leaching, as applied in the processing of this ore. Results show the ore to be amenable to the Acid Leach - Countercurrent Decantation - Solvent Extraction process.







Uranium Extraction Technology


Book Description

The purpose of this publication is to update and expand the first edition, which was published in 1983, and to report on later advances in uranium ore processing. It includes background information about the principles of the unit operations used in uranium ore processing and summarizes the current state of the art. Extensive references provide sources for specific technological details.
