    Abstract: In alternative embodiments, provided are methods and processes for the removal of cadmium (Cd) from wet-process phosphoric acid that may contain Cd, including excessive amounts of Cd. The process developed is based on the application of commercially available ion exchange resins with the application of Continuous Ion Exchange (CIX) technology. In alternative embodiments, provided are processes and methods for the recovery and/or the removal of cadmium from wet-process phosphoric acid using a continuous ion exchange approach. In alternative embodiments, use of processes and methods as provided herein allows for the reduction of cadmium metal contaminants with minimal phosphate losses and dilution in order to produce a phosphoric acid that is suitable for the production of fertilizers and phosphoric acid products, such as world-class diammonium phosphate fertilizer (DAP), merchant-grade phosphoric acid, super-phosphoric acid, and other phosphoric acid products.

    Abstract: In alternative embodiments, the invention provides processes and methods for the recovery, removal or extracting of, and subsequent purification of uranium from a wet-process phosphoric acid using a continuous ion exchange processing approach, where the uranium is recovered from a phosphoric acid, or a phos-acid feedstock using either a dual or a single stage extraction methodology. In both cases an intermediate ammonium uranyl-tricarbonate solution is formed. In alternative embodiments, in the dual cycle approach, this solution is contacted in a second continuous ion exchange system with a strong anion exchange resin then subsequently recovered as an acidic uranyl solution that is further treated to produce an intermediate uranyl peroxide compound which is ultimately calcined to produce the final uranium oxide product. In alternative embodiments, in the single cycle case, the intermediate ammonium uranyl-tricarbonate solution is evaporated to decompose the ammonium carbonate and produce an intermediate uranium carbonate/oxide solid material. These solids are digested in an acid medium, and then processed in the same manner as the secondary regeneration solution from the dual cycle process to produce an intermediate uranyl peroxide that is calcined to produce a final uranium oxide product.

    Abstract translation: 在替代实施方案中,本发明提供用于使用连续离子交换处理方法从湿法磷酸回收,除去或提取和随后纯化铀的方法和方法,其中铀从磷酸中回收,或 使用双级或单级萃取方法的磷酸原料。 在这两种情况下,形成中间铀 - 三碳酸二烷基酯溶液。 在替代实施方案中,在双循环方法中,该溶液在第二连续离子交换系统中与强阴离子交换树脂接触,然后随后作为酸性铀酰溶液回收,其进一步处理以产生最终煅烧的中间体铀酰过氧化物 以生产最终的铀氧化物产品。 在替代实施方案中,在单循环情况下,蒸发中间铀 - 碳酸三烷基酯溶液以分解碳酸铵并产生中间体铀碳酸盐/氧化物固体材料。 这些固体在酸性介质中消化,然后以与来自双循环过程的二次再生溶液相同的方式进行处理,以生产中间体二烷基过氧化物,其被煅烧以产生最终的铀氧化物产物。
