Abstract
The liquid membrane process can effectively separate and concentrate uranium from wet process phosphoric acid and is economically superior to solvent extraction systems. The paper describes the process, compares it to other extraction schemes, and shows how it can be used for uranium recovery. A mathematical model useful for design purposes is presented and the effect of important variables is discussed.Keywords
