Abstract

Compositions containing uranium X1 are prepared by agitating an aqueous solution containing uranium and radioactive decomposition products thereof with a cation-exchange material in a finely divided condition and separating the cation-exchange material from the solution. The cation-exchange material may be of the sulphonated coal type or the synthetic resin type, e.g. a hydrogen ion-exchange material known as zeokarb or tannin resin. The uranium X1 may be recovered by incinerating, treating the ash with aqueous acid and precipitating with a water-insoluble polyvalent metal compound, e.g. ferric hydroxide. The solution of uranium compound may contain ionium, thonium and uranium X1, whereby a composition is produced containing ionium, thorium and uranium X1. Subsequent treatments of the uranium solution when it has again acquired a uranium X1 content will yield compositions free from ionium and thorium. The cation-exchange material or a composition prepared therefrom which contains ionium, thorium and uranium X1 may be stored until substantially all the uranium X1 has undergone radioactive decay to uranium II, which is removed by bringing the elements into aqueous solution and precipitating ionium and thorium with ferric hydroxide.
