Uranium recovery from wet process phosphoric acid

This invention makes some improvements to the standard two-circuit liquid ion exchange process for recovering uranium from wet process phosphoric acid. All uranium process organics are removed from the first circuit raffinate before the raffinate is recycled back to the wet-process plant. Hydrogen peroxide is used in the oxidative strip of the feed solution from the first circuit, and a recycled acidified strip solution from the sodium carbonate strip is used as a scrub of the loaded agent in the second circuit prior to stripping. Sodium carbonate is used rather than ammonium carbonate as the second circuit stripping agent, and the agent from the second circuit strip is regenerated with sulfuric acid before recycling to prevent the formation of emulsions in the second circuit
