Description
An effective process incorporated with the novel membrane separation technology was developed to recover uranium from the filtrate effluent of uranium dioxide conversion processes. The prominent feature of the process is that it utilizes separation characteristics of three different types of membranes as follow: separation of uranium species from effluent of high fluoride content by ultrafiltration membrane, separation of uranium species from effluent of low fluoride content by reverse osmosis membrane, precipitation of uranium species with hydrogen peroxide, and filtration of uranium bearing precipitates by microfiltration membrane. The process is simple and feasible for treatment of liquid waste containing both soluble and suspended uranium species. The recovery of uranium can be as high as 95% and the treated effluents meet the current environmental standards. 4 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab
