Description
The present status and future trends of uranium solvent extraction has been reviewed with particular focus on the amine extraction or AMEX process. Some problems commonly encountered in current industrial operations are reviewed including crud formation caused by soluble silica, tertiary amine degradation by oxidation, recovery of vanadium and molybdenum, thorium treatment and operation difficulties with high chloride concentrations. Possible solutions are described and commented in terms of industrial practice. Future research trends of uranium solvent extraction have been suggested.
