The book emphasizes various aspects of processing secondary sources for recovery of uranium. The field of secondary resource processing is gaining ground over the last few years as it is eco-friendly, economical and in tune with the philosophy of sustainable development. The book is the first one of its type in the area and includes a succint ...

Uranium melts at 1,132 °C [ 1 ]. If the molten metal is to pour and fill the mold well, the mold should be hot (800–1,000 °C is ideal) and the metal needs to be approximately 1,350–1,450 °C. This will ensure that the metal does not start to solidify before it fills the mold [ 2 ]. The second challenge is chemical.

The alternative, 'dry' process is used in the USA. In the dry process, uranium oxide concentrates are first calcined (heated strongly) to drive off some impurities, then agglomerated and crushed. At Converdyn's US conversion plant, U 3 O 8 is first made into impure UF 6 and this is then refined in a two-stage distillation process.

The uranium-bearing solution (generally containing less than 0. 1% uranium) is then pumped to a surface processing facility where the uranium is removed using ion exchange resin/polymer. The water is re-oxidized and re-injected into the orebody. The uranium is stripped from the resin/polymer, precipitated with hydrogen peroxide and then dried ...

Although 90-95 percent of the uranium in the ore is extracted during processing (thus reducing uranium concentrations by at least an order of magnitude), most of the uranium decay products (e.g., 230 Th, 226 Ra, 222 Rn), which may comprise the majority of the total radioactivity of the ore, stay in the tailings (Hebel et al., 1978, Van Metre ...

The Rossing Uranium mine is located 70km north-east of Swakopmund in Namibia, Africa. It is the fifth largest producer of uranium in the world and accounts for about 8% of the world's uranium oxide production. The licence area of the mine is 180km 2 of which 20km 2 are used for mining, waste disposal and processing.

A conventional uranium mill is a chemical plant that extracts uranium using the following process: Trucks deliver uranium ore to the mill, where it is crushed into smaller particles before being extracted (or leached). In most cases, sulfuric acid is the leaching agent, but alkaline solutions can also be used to leach the uranium from the ore.
