摘要:
A process for the purification of solutions containing sodium or potassium carbonate, sulphate, hydroxide or hydrogen carbonate, and mainly at least one of the metals belonging to the group formed by vanadium, uranium or molybdenum, in the form of sodium or potassium salts, and inorganic and/or organic impurities, wherein the above-mentioned solutions are completely or partially caustified by the addition of an adequate amount of lime, whereby a first precipitate essentially containing calcium carbonate is separated, and the separated liquor is concentrated by evaporation until the hydroxide content is at most equal to 50%, to cause the production of a second precipitate which essentially comprises sodium or potassium sulphate, then, after separation thereof, a hydroxide-rich liquor is collected.This process is more particularly adapted for treatments of liquors resulting from the alkaline attach of vanadiferous and uraniferous ores.

The process is well adapted to the treatments of the liquors originating from the alkaline attack of uraniferous ore.
