Abstract

See full text

Impure phosphoric acid containing uranium values is pretreated with a water immiscible organic sulfonic acid, preferably in conjunction with a water immiscible organic acid phosphate compound, for extraction of ionic metallic impurities and organic impurities to produce pretreated phosphoric acid containing uranium values. Pretreated phosphoric acid is contacted with a water immiscible extractant comprising an organic uranium-extracting agent, preferably an organophosphorus compound, dissolved in a water immiscible organic diluent to produce uranium-depleted phosphoric acid and uranium-enriched extractant. Uranium is recovered from the uranium-enriched extractant.
