Uranium
Dissolution of the uranium can be done via an acidic or alkaline leach, depending on the nature of the ore. This process releases the uranium from the ore, generating a pregnant leach liquor containing uranium as an anionic uranyl-sulfate (H 2 SO 4 leach) or uranyl-carbonate (alkaline leach) complex. Strong base anion exchange resins readily take up these anionic uranyl …
