    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the production of a uranium trioxide yellowcake from a uranium peroxide precipitate, the peroxide precipitate being in the form of a low solids content, uranium rich feed slurry, the process including the stages of: a. thickening the feed slurry to produce a thickener underflow with a solids content in the range of 15 to 50% w/w and a thickener overflow; b. dewatering the thickener underflow to produce a solids cake with a solids content of at least 50% w/w and a dewater overflow; and c. calcining the solids cake at a temperature in the range of 450° C. to 480° C. to produce a calcined uranium trioxide yellowcake.

    Abstract: A process for the recovery of an organic phase and an aqueous phase from three phase emulsions such as those formed during the extraction of uranium from wet phosphoric acid is described. Such emulsions contain a light-density liquid phase and a heavy-density liquid phase and are stabilized by a solid phase of intermediate density. The emulsion is first heated and then separated into its three components using a centrifugal filter with an appropriate filter aid. At high filter feed rates the dense liquid phase passes freely through the filter media while the light phase liquid begins to accumulate in the centrifuge and is withdrawn from the centrifuge via a properly positioned skimmer tube. The apparatus containing the skimmer tube is also described.
