New aspects of uranium recovery from seawater

  • 1. Istitut fur chemie Nuclear Research Center, Julich D-5170 Julich 1, Germany FR

Description

The properties of various adsorbents for uranium extraction from seawater are measured under standardized experimental conditions. It turns out that fractionated humic acids have exceptionally fast loading kinetics. This property leads to a substantial reduction of capital investments in conventional adsorbent bed techniques as well as in a procedure designed to avoid large adsorbent bed constructions by using carrier bodies in the open sea
