FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydraulic metallurgy, particularly to extraction of uranium from used phosphate solutions. This process consists in adding the solvent to initial solution, said solvent being selected from the series: KMnO4, K2Cr2O7, HNO3, H2O2, KClO3. Then, uranium-bearing sediment is precipitated by acidity correction by ammonia to pH 2.8-4.0 at 20-35°C. Filtered precipitate is treated by 20-35% solution of NaOH at 80-85°C for 1.5-2.0 hours.
EFFECT: higher yield of uranium, return of high-enriched uranium to fuel cycle, lower costs of higher safety at long-term storage, accounting and control.
