Separation of Radioactive Elements from Ethiopian Kenticha Pegmatite Ore by Hydrometallurgical Methods

The leaching and extraction behavior of uranium and thorium from a high-grade Ethiopian pegmatite ore in a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid has been investigated. The effects of variables such as the temperature, particle size, acid concentration, and leaching time were studied. The le...
