  • Publication number: 20180187290
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for separating iron from an initial liquid organic phase containing uranium and iron, wherein the initial liquid organic phase is contacted with an aqueous solution referred to as aqueous de-ironing solution, whereby the iron passes into the aqueous solution to form a final liquid aqueous phase, and uranium remains in the initial liquid organic phase to form a final liquid organic phase referred to as de-ironed organic phase. The method is characterised in that the aqueous de-ironing solution contains an inorganic acid and uranium, and does not contain iron. The application also relates to a method for extracting uranium from an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid containing uranium and iron.

  • Patent number: 9330795
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a fuel based on oxide, carbide, and/or oxycarbide comprising uranium and at least one actinide and/or lanthanide component, comprising the following steps: a step for preparing a load solution consisting in a nitric solution comprising said actinide and/or lanthanide in the form of actinide and/or lanthanide nitrates and uranium as a hydroxylated uranyl nitrate complex; a step for passing said solution over a cation exchange resin comprising carboxylic groups, with which the actinide and/or the lanthanide in cationic form and the uranium as uranyl remain bound to the resin; a heat treatment step of said resin so as to obtain said fuel.
