Problems solved by technology

Since carbonate radicals and acids are prone to react to generate gas, it will have adverse effects on actual operation, adsorption, leaching, and transformation effects.
For example, when gas is generated during adsorption, leaching, and transformation, it will cause uneven distribution of liquid, loose

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of uranium hydrometallurgy, in particular to an ion exchange method for gas generation in the uranium extraction process. The ion exchange method comprises the following steps: connecting N ion exchange towers in series, adsorbing to-be-treated liquid, and controlling the pH value of adsorption tail liquid of a first tower; in the adsorption process, carrying out exhausting; cutting out after the first tower is saturated, circularly exhausting the Nth ion exchange tower in a liquid inlet form by utilizing the discharged liquid, and adsorbing after exhausting; cutting tail into a new tower; for the cut-out first tower, carrying out leaching in a manner that qualified leaching liquid enters the first tower for circular leaching, and then adopting upper liquid inlet nested circular leaching or upper liquid inlet series counter-current leaching; emptying liquid from the leached ion exchange tower, transforming, and exhausting from the top of the tower; and emptying liquid from the transformed ion exchange resin tower, washing, and using the washed ion exchange tower for adsorption. The invention improves the influence of gas on operation, ensures higher gradient, enhances the resin capacity, enhances the leacheate concentration and reduces the wastewater volume.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of uranium hydrometallurgy, in particular to an ion exchange method with gas generation during the uranium extraction process. Background technique [0002] The extraction technology of uranium in the field of uranium hydrometallurgy is mainly to extract uranium from sulfuric acid system and carbonate system. In sulfuric acid or carbonic acid system, uranium is easier to complex with sulfate or carbonate to form an anion complex. In the sulfuric acid system, D201x7 strong basic anion resin is generally used to adsorb the sulfate anion complex of uranyl, and then rinsed with acidic sodium chloride or nitrate, the acid can ensure that the uranium does not precipitate. In the carbonate system, D201x7 strong basic anion resin is generally used to absorb the carbonate anion complex of uranyl, and then the sodium chloride in the carbonate system is used for eluting. The carbonate can be complexed with uranium to ensure tha...
