摘要

A unique new industrial process has been developed that recovers uranium from incinerator ash produced by nuclear fuel fabrication plants. The process utilizes nitric acid and tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide to extract uranium oxide directly into the supercritical fluid without a separate acid dissolution step. The process was developed in phases beginning with bench-scale feasibility tests and concluding with pilot plant demonstration tests. The bench-scale feasibility experiments tested basic chemistry and the ability of the process to extract uranium from incinerator ash. Pilot-scale tests determined practical operating conditions and scale-up factors for the design and implementation of a full-scale process. AREVA NP Inc. completed construction of a full-scale ash uranium plant in 2009 that will allow safe and environmentally friendly uranium recovery from ash and other low-uranium materials that would otherwise be uneconomic if done by conventional methods.
