Abstract
Nickel is found in substantial quantities in some uranium-containing ores. Recovery of uranium from such ores by the known acid leaching process includes a solvent extraction stage that leaves an aqueous raffinate containing nickel, together with other components including iron, arsenic, radium 226 and uranium. Attempts have been made to recover nickel from this raffinate but have not been successful because the costs of recovery are so high that the process is uneconomic or because the nickel obtained is contaminated with radium 226 and uranium to such a degree that the nickel is unacceptable. The present invention provides a process for obtaining from the raffinate a solution of a nickel salt that is not unacceptably contaminated with radium 226 and uranium. The process is economic and in a preferred embodiment uses only air, lime and a barium salt, preferably barium chloride, as reagents. If cobalt is also present in the ore it is recovered with the nickel.
