Abstract

The invention provides a method for treating alkali wastewater containing uranium, which comprises the following steps: (a) adding Ca(OH)2 into the alkali wastewater containing uranium and enabling concentration of CO32- and HCO3- in the alkali wastewater containing uranium to be reduced be less than 0.1mg/L, (b) filtering obtained the alkali wastewater containing uranium in the step (a), adding FeSO4 into filtrate and adjusting potential of hydrogen (pH) value in a range of 7.0-9.0, (c) adding BaCl2 into obtained alkali liquid containing uranium in the step (b) to performing coprecipitation and radium removing, and (d) aging obtained alkali liquid containing uranium in the step (c), performing the step (b) to aged alkali liquid containing uranium, and performing neutralization reaction together with the filtrate. After 5-10 times of cycling aging, finally-obtained alkali liquid containing uranium is filtered to obtain filtrate and filter residues. By means of the method, uranium content in wastewater can be reduced to be less than 0.05 mg/L, radium content can be reduced to be less than 1.1 Bq/L, standard wastewater discharge can be completely achieved, and residues are small in quantity and easy to dispose.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of hydrometallurgy of uranium mines, in particular to a method for removing uranium and radium in alkaline uranium-containing wastewater of uranium mines. Background technique [0002] Compared with acid leaching, alkaline leaching of uranium ore can selectively dissolve uranium in the ore, in which iron, aluminum, titanium, etc. are almost insoluble in carbonate solution, and only a small amount of molybdate, Silicates, vanadates, phosphates and certain metal carbonate complexes. The radionuclide thorium is practically insoluble in the alkaline leaching process, while radium dissolves 1.5 to 3%. The other radionuclides are apparently discarded into the tailings. Therefore, for uranium mines treated by alkaline method, the main pollutants of wastewater are radionuclide uranium and radium. [0003] Judging from the proven uranium resources in my country, the proportion of alkaline ore resources reaches 30%. Alkaline ...
