Electrolytic Recovery of Uranium and Vanadium from Climax Leach Liquors,

Abstract

An electrolytic method has been investigated for the recovery of uranium and vanadium from the pregnant leach liquors of the Climax Uranium Co. This method, employing anion-permeable membranes, has been found capable of effecting virtually complete recovery of both metals and a fair separation of the two. A recovery of the acid value of the leach liquor is also achievable. The leaching of Climax ore in the anode chamber was investigated and shows some promise.
