Electrolytic precipitation of uranium from ion-exchange resin eluates has been investigated in a three-compartment cell. A relatively low-energy consumption is required and anodic attack is reduced to a negligible quantity. During the precipitation, acid is produced in sufficient quantity for use as eluant for subsequent eluting operations. The recovered uranium is in the form of a rapid settling, fast filtering precipitate which is easily washed with water to reduce the chloride content to a tolerable concentration.

Various electrolytic tests were made using leach liquors derived from Blyvooruitzicht residues and synthetic solutions similar to the leach liquors. Using pure solutions a high grade uranium precipitate was obtained with less than one kilowatt hour of electric power per pound of U3O. Electrolysis of leach liquors produced low-grade precipitates and consumed excessive amounts of power due to side reactions with impurities.

The investigation of the electrolytic precipitation of uranium from a sample of acid leach liquor in an ion exchange membrane cell has been conducted on leach liquor from the Vitro Co. This leach liquor can be treated by the above means to precipitate essentially all the uranium and simultaneously to produce additional acid which may be used for further leaching.
