  • Metal and fluorine values recovery from mineral ore treatment
    Patent number: 5531970
    Abstract: The process for separating U or Th values from values of at least one other metal such as Ta, Nb, Sc, Zr, Ti or Mg, wherein all of the values are contained in a difficult soluble matrix of highly fluorinated feed materials such as U or Th bearing ores or the processing products, processing intermediates, or processing residues thereof, the method comprising the steps of:(a) digesting the feed materials with an aqueous, mineral acid, digest medium containing one or more complexing materials such as H.sub.3 BO.sub.3, or ions of group 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, or 7A metals, Fe, B, Al or Si;(b) maintaining the temperature of the medium between about 55.degree. C. and about 85.degree. C.

  • Metal and fluorine values recovery from mineral ore treatment
    Patent number: 5385713
    Abstract: The process for recovering boron values and fluorine values from an acidic aqueous feed liquor containing substantial fluoroborate moieties, including contacting the feed liquor with basic material to adjust the pH thereof to above about 7.0 and provide a first clarified liquor containing the fluoroborate moieties, and contacting the first clarified liquor at elevated temperature with sufficient cation reactant selected from Al(OH).sub.3 or Al.sub.2 (SO.sub.4).sub.3 to precipitate substantially all of the fluorine values as an aluminum fluoride compound and provide a second clarified liquor containing the boron values as boric acid.
