Uranium production from the sea

Creators

Description

The present report deals with considerations concerning the extraction of uranium from sea water with active water transport by pumping systems. Because of the nearly negligible energy demand of the extraction process with pumped sea water a concept with barges as adsorber carriers was developed. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Der vorliegende Bericht beinhaltet Ueberlegungen zur Extraktion von Uran aus Meerwasser mit aktivem Wassertransport durch Pumpen. Aufgrund des nahezu vernachlaessigbaren Energiebedarfs bei der Bilanzierung des Extraktionsvorgangs mit gepumptem Meerwasser wurde ein Pumpkonzept mit Bargen als Adsorbertraegern entwickelt. (orig.)
