Description

Based on simple seawater and dissolved uranium balances the influence of specific adsorber parameters on size and design of production plants with fluidized adsorber beds for the extraction of uranium from seawater is discussed. Besides a critical review of two recently published plant designs in the USA and Japan experimentally determined adsorber data for a polyamidoxim (PAO) granulate are presented together with an evaluation of their influence on the key plant parameters.

Abstract (German)

Ausgehend von einfachen Bilanzbetrachtungen bezueglich Seewasser und geloestem Uran wird der Einfluss von spezifischen Adsorbereigenschaften auf Groesse und Auslegung von Produktionsanlagen mit fluidisierten Adsorberbetten fuer die Gewinnung von Uran aus Seewasser diskutiert. Neben einer kritischen Betrachtung von zwei kuerzlich veroeffentlichten Anlagenauslegungen in den USA und in Japan werden experimentell ermittelte Adsorberdaten fuer ein Polyamidoxim (PAO)-Granulat mitgeteilt und ihre Auswirkungen auf die wesentlichen Anlagenparameter bewertet.
