The leading technology for uranium extraction from phosphoric acid is based on solvent extraction with DEPA/TOPO as the extraction reagent system [58-59]. DEPA stands for di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid while TOPO represents ctyl phosphine oxide.
Sedimentary PMWR generated after removing the overburden varies as a function of the pre-processing and beneficiation methods. Phosphate rock extraction (SR between 3:1 and 6:1) and pre-upgrading in Morocco follows two stages: destoning and screening (El Machi et al., 2020; Taha et al., 2021).The destoning consists of the removal of the >90 mm blocks.

The phosphate ore is mined by different countries in the world processed into an estimated 23 million tons of marketable product in 2020. According to industry analysts from different countries, which are reported as a pioneer (Krekeler et al. 2008; Cánovas et al. 2018) for instance, USA, Brazil, Morocco and Tunisia, the mine production capacity was approximately …
The extraction and recovery of rare earth elements from phosphate rock, phosphoric acid, and three phosphate fertilizer waste by-products, phosphogypsum, amine tailings, and waste clay, using a novel aqueous-based extraction solution and an adsorption polymer, poly 1-octadecene 2,5-furandione salt, are examined. Overall

As a next step, Zhang, a national research team and The Mosaic Co., the largest phosphate mining company in Florida, have proposed a commercial demonstration plant on mining lands that would process rare earth elements from phosphoric acid sludge. Extraction without mining. With scientific advances, additional mining is not necessary to extract ...
As mentioned above, approximately 75% of the global phosphoric acid industries use sulfuric acid for leaching phosphate rocks, ... Recovery of uranium from wet phosphoric acid by solvent extraction processes. Chem. Rev. 114 (24), ... Mining and beneficiation of phosphate ore, apatites and their synthetic analogues—synthesis, ...
Turgis et al. (2014) investigated the uranium recovery with an amino-phosphonate substituent from phosphoric acid, which is obtained using sulfuric acid from phosphate rocks [66]. This research was focused in the preparation and testing of compounds for the selective extraction of U(VI) from phosphoric acid solutions.
To attain an optimized extraction process at the laboratory scale, we examined different mixtures of D2EHPA + TOPO + TBP, on a commercial grade H 3 PO 4 solution that was extracted from the Sheikh Habil phosphate rocks in central Iran it was mentioned in Part 1 of this project that the aim was to produce phosphoric acid and recover uranium from ...

An extraction yield of 18% was obtained using Di(2-EthylHexyl) Phosphate acid as extractant for Neodymium and Praseodymium, a better extraction yield of 57% of the same elements was obtained with Tri Octyl Phosphine Oxide.
The phosphate is sent to a chemical processing plant, or fertilizer manufacturing plant. Here, molten sulfur, shipped to Florida ports and trucked to the plant, is used to create sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid is then mixed with the phosphate to make phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid is the main ingredient in fertilizer, but can also be ...
We view the more promising trace element candidates for extraction from phosphate rock to be scandium, hafnium, beryllium, gallium, germanium, and several of the rare earth elements.

The United States is the world's largest consumer of uranium. In 2017, the great majority (93%) of this uranium was imported. A recent investigation by the current administration found that foreign uranium imports and the supply of related products—essential for the U.S. nuclear arsenal, blue-water navy, and power plants—pose no threat to national security.
