Abstract

A method for enriching uranium from an aqueous solution containing uranyl ions, comprising the following steps: adsorbing an aqueous solution containing uranyl ions with a uranyl ion adsorbing material; and the uranyl ion absorbing material is a material containing a group. A low-production-cost uranyl ion adsorbing material is used for enriching the uranium element from a low concentration uranyl ion aqueous solution, avoiding the use of the toxic compound acrylonitrile, with low pollution to the environment in the production process and a low adsorption capacity for vanadium; the adsorption capacity and the re-use efficiency of the material cannot be reduced because of the vanadium poisoning of the material; the adsorption rate is high; the maximum adsorption capacity for uranium can be as high as 7.57 mg / g; the stability is good and the re-use efficiency is high; and the average adsorption capacity loss is only 5% after 10 times of recycling use, and the adsorption capacity for uranium is still very high after 100 times.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention specifically relates to a method for enriching uranium from an aqueous solution containing uranyl ions. Background technique [0002] In recent years, my country's energy strategy has taken nuclear energy as an important component, and the demand for uranium will increase year by year. According to the medium and long-term development plan of my country's nuclear power, the total installed capacity of nuclear power in my country will reach 86 million kilowatts by 2020, and the demand for natural uranium will be about 8,500 tons. However, my country's terrestrial uranium resources are not rich, and most of them are lean ores. The annual output of natural uranium is only about 700 tons. Therefore, by 2020, my country's uranium fuel gap will reach more than 90%, relying heavily on imports, which poses a serious threat to my country's nuclear energy development. [0003] In addition to terrestrial uranium deposits, there are a large number ...
