Abstract

Abstract
Leach solution of uranium from different resources was collected and characterized. Batch method and fixed column recovery of uranium from this leach liquor were carried out. The different parameters affecting the extraction of uranium from its solution using anion exchange resin was applied by using both Batch method and fixed column techniques. By using batch method, about 90% of uranium is extracted from its solution within 15 minutes. However, fixed column method extracted 93% of uranium with longer time by Amberlite IRA400. It’s found that recovery of uranium from small volumes of these leach solution, it preferred to carry out using batch method. Abstract
