Evaluation of the acid leaching technique for recovery of U3O8 and ThO2 in niobium/tantalum slag

Evaluation of the acid leaching technique for recovery of U3O8 and ThO2 in niobium/tantalum slag

This study presented the recovery of uranium oxide and thorium oxide from aluminothermic slag from the metallurgical processing of columbite – a niobium/tantalum mineral with the presence of U3O8 and ThO2 – from a mining-industrial facility. The methodology consisted of sampling, comminution, and le...
