The solution is then passed on for clarification where impurities are eliminated. From there it is fed to the ion exchange. The chemical reaction that takes place during this stage, results in the uranium that is in solution, being attracted onto resin, and then, through a series of chemical reactions that solution is concentrated.
Processing with a high uranium concentration in the feed and a high HNO 3 concentration in the feed/elution achieved excellent uranium retention on the anion exchange column as well as the uranium separation from trace quantities of plutonium and stable metal impurities. See more

This fact entails a magnification in the rate of extraction and processing of uranium and the amount of solid radioactive wastes (RW) (Ilankoon et al., ... Uranium precipitates in the form of AUC and impurities remain in solution during interaction with ACBM. Thus, uranium is purified from impurities, primarily from Fe, Ca, Al and Mg.
5.1 This test method is applicable to uranium metal, ura-nium oxides and compounds soluble in nitric or sulfuric acid, and uranium solutions which can be converted to uranium oxide (U3O8) in a muffle furnace. It may be used to determine the impurities in uranium compounds as listed in Specifications C 753, C 776, C 788, and C 967. 6. Apparatus
A comparative investigation of the trace element, U and Pb isotopic compositions, and structural attributes of two uranium dioxide fuel pellets was conducted for nuclear forensic applications. One fuel pellet consists of natural UO2 (0.71% 235 U), while the other contains enriched UO 2 (3.98% 235U). Numerous impurities, including …
Recycled uranium can be refined using physical or chemical properties of fission products or transuranic elements at the fluorination step of the uranium conversion process. Some impurities, which ...

Fig. 2: Process scheme for uranium mining and processing to produce useable uranium product, including ... Alkaline solutions tend to be more selective to uranium minerals, which means the solution will contain fewer impurities. Consequently, the uranium oxide (commonly called "yellow cake") can be directly precipitated without purification. ...
An analytical procedure was developed to determine the concentration of some elements regarded as trace impurities in nuclear fuel using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS)...
An aqueous solution containing uranium (2% m/v) in 1 mol dm–3 nitric acid and an organic solvent that can effectively extract uranium, viz., trioctylphosphine oxide in cyclohexane (0.2 mol dm ...
In order to determine trace impurities in the nuclear grade UF4, an analysis method based on the standard addition and 103Rh internal standardization techniques combined with ICP-MS has been established. The examination tests, including comparison with the quantity of trace impurities assigned in a certified reference uranium oxide and …

After recovery of the uranium, the barren solution is re-fortified with oxidant and complexing agent before being returned to the wellfield via the injection wells. However, a small flow (about 0.5%) is bled off to maintain a pressure gradient in the wellfield and this, with some solutions from surface processing, is treated as waste.
