Uranium carbonate leach next steps?

Jackson - 29-12-2018 at 16:56

Hi,
i have successfully leached uranium ore using sodium bicarbonate. It glows green under blacklight. My question is, how can i further process the solution. I assume that i should boil it down, but im not sure how to get it to uranium peroxide. I cant find anything about the process and would like some guidance on where i can find documentation, if there is any.

Thanks,
Jackson

Have you seen Carl Willis page?

Briefly: adjust the pH with acid to the right range and add peroxide.
