Abstract: | The tantalum (Ta)/niobium (Nb) tailing is the tailing after smelting Ta/Nb ore. The tailing contains a certain amount of radioactive element uranium (U) and thorium (Th). U and Th from Ta/Nb tailing were leached by nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Leaching effect and kinetics were investigated under the conditions of different acid concentration, temperature, liquid–solid ratio and time. The results showed that the leaching effects of sulfuric acid on U and Th were much better than that of nitric acid. Kinetic analysis shows that the leaching of U and Th by nitric acid and sulfuric acid are surface chemical reaction. |
