The invention discloses a method for one-step electrifying extraction and separation of
uranium elements from sandstone
uranium ores, which comprises the following steps: adjusting the pH value of an activation environment to be less than or equal to 3 by using an activation leaching agent, and converting the
uranium elements in the sandstone uranium ores into
uranyl with positive charges and complexes thereof; and a direct-
current electric field with the
voltage gradient of 0.1-2 V / cm is applied between the
cathode and the
anode, so that the uranium element moves towards the
cathode chamber under the action of the
electric field and is selectively reduced on the
cathode, and the uranium element is reduced into a low-valence insoluble uranium-containing substance through electrons to be precipitated on the surface of the cathode. According to the method, uranium ions only forming positive charges and complexes of the uranium ions are activated and leached, and the uranium element directionally moves towards the cathode under the electrophysical actions of
electromigration, electroosmosis and the like, so that the extraction of the uranium element in the sandstone
uranium ore is realized; and meanwhile, soluble uranium is reduced and fixed on the surface of the cathode conductive plastic
electrode through electrochemical actions such as reduction generated by electrons on the surface of the cathode conductive plastic
electrode, so that one-step separation and purification of the uranium element are realized.
