Development of uranium extraction technology from phosphoric acid solutions with extractant P N-1200

Description

Phosphorites are the major mineral source for phosphate fertilizers production. However, the phosphorites of sedimentary origin are radioactive due to small concentrations of uranium, thorium, radium, lead and polonium. Large world reserves of phosphorites and the quantities involved in fertilizers production make them a potential source of uranium. Recovery of uranium as by-product also produces environmentally safe fertilizers. The results obtained in extraction of uranium from phosphoric acid with a novel efficient extractant of poly alkyl phosphazine (P N-1200) is described
