Recovery of uranium from low concentration leach liquor of acid in-situ leaching

For problems of environment protection and cost in uranium recycle, the process flows of ion exchange and Eluex, which recovered uranium from low concentration leach liquor of acid in-situ leaching, were studied. Although the flow sheet of ion exchange process was simple, the Eluex process had an advantage over it due to large quantity of effluent and high processing cost in ion exchange process by comparative studies.
