Abstract

A method is disclosed for the recovery of uranium compounds from uranium-containing waste liquors produced in the AUC-conversion process for the production of UO2- nuclear fuel. The waste liquor is heated to about 95 DEG C in a single passage through an electrically operated continuous flow heater to liberate its carbon dioxide content to a concentration of less than 6 g per litre and ammonia. Uranium is precipitated in the form of a compound thereof from the residual solution at a temperature of 50 to 55 DEG C by addition of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. The precipitated uranium compound may be converted to U3O8 at 800 DEG C and used in the production of UO2. The method is applicable to both fluorine-containing and nitrate- containing waste liquors.
