Patent number: 9932654Abstract: A system for extracting uranium from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA), includes an ion exchange resin or solvent extractor for separating uranium from WPA to produce a loaded uranium solution stream and a uranium depleted WPA stream. An ion exchange resin is positioned to receive the loaded uranium solution stream and bind uranium species thereto. An anion solution stream is positioned to feed a solution comprising anions onto the ion exchange resin to form a loaded uranium eluant stream. The loaded uranium eluant stream may then be treated to provide a uranium containing product.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Urtek, LLCInventors: Marcus Worsley Richardson, James Andrew Davidson, Bryn Llywelyn Jones, Jessica Mary Page, Karin Helene Soldenhoff, Tomasz Artur Safinski, Manh Toan Tran

Patent number: 9217189Abstract: A process for extracting uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA) includes lowering iron content of WPA to produce a lowered iron WPA, reducing valency of any remaining iron in the lowered iron WPA to produce a reduced iron valency WPA. Uranium compounds are extracted from the reduced iron valency WPA via a solvent extraction process.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Urtek, LLCInventors: James Andrew Davidson, Mark S. Chalmers, Bryn Llywelyn Jones, Paul Robert Kucera, Peter Douglas Macintosh, Jessica Mary Page, Marcus Worsley Richardson, Karin Helene Soldenhoff, Colin Wayrauch

Patent number: 8883096Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a process for extracting uranium from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA), comprises separating uranium from WPA to produce a loaded uranium solution stream and a uranium depleted WPA stream. The loaded uranium solution stream is then contacted by with an ion exchange resin. Uranium species bound to the ion exchange resin are eluted by contacting the resin with a solution comprising anions to produce a loaded uranium eluant stream. The loaded uranium eluant stream is treated to provide a uranium containing product.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Urtek, LLCInventors: Marcus Worsley Richardson, James Andrew Davidson, Bryn Llywelyn Jones, Jessica Mary Page, Karin Helene Soldenhoff, Tomasz Artur Safinski, Manh Toan Tran

Patent number: 8703077Abstract: A process for the extraction of uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid includes lowering the iron concentration of the wet-process phosphoric acid and reducing the valency of any remaining ferric iron in the wet-process phosphoric acid to ferrous iron, and then extracting uranium compounds from the wet-process phosphoric acid. The process can include separating a side stream from a feed stream of wet-process phosphoric acid, wherein the side stream has a greater concentration of the uranium compounds than the feed stream by filtration. Extracting uranium compounds from the wet-process phosphoric acid can be by ion exchange process or by solvent extraction.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Urtek, LLC.Inventors: Mark S. Chalmers, James Andrew Davidson, Bryn Llywelyn Jones, Paul Robert Kucera, Peter Douglas Macintosh, Jessica Mary Page, Marcus Worsley Richardson, Karin Helene Soldenhoff, Colin Wayrauch
