2. Heavy Water Board, Mumbai

Recovery of Uranium from Phosphoric acid

Literature Survey, Process selection and optimization, Plant design and

Simulation with software like HYSYS, selection of equipments,

presentations and documentation, knowledge transfer etc. Description:

With the urgent need of Uranium it is up most priority to work on

alternate sources of uranium other than conventional resources.

Phosphoric acid is one of the sources which are used by fertilizer

industry. U content in the 28% WPA is 50-200 ppm. Heavy Water Board is

setting up Technology Demonstration Plant at RCF, Mumbai. This involved

setting up micro mixer-settler and bench scale facility at Heavy Water

Plant, Talcher. Based on operational results of these facilities, basic

engineering package for TDP is done. I was also involved in preparation

of process flow diagram, preparation of P&ID, equipment design and

specification sheets, Basic and detailed engineering, plant layout,

safety systems etc.

Separation of Uranium from Uranyl Nitrate Raffinate Cake (UNRC)

Study of Uranium Separation Processes, Plant visits, identifying the

opportunities for Separation, Literature survey, Lab Scale Experiments,

Analysis of Results, Inference and Documentation, Knowledge Transfer,

etc.

The fuel for nuclear reactors (PHWR) is Uranium oxide sintered pellet.

For the fabrication of Uranium oxide, ore concentrate in the form of

Magnesium Di Urinate (MDU) is dissolved in Nitric acid to obtain crude

uranyl nitrate solution (CUNS). The CUNS is treated counter currently

with 33% TBP balance kerosene solvent in a 10-stage slurry extractor.

Uranium is extracted in organic phase and the aqueous raffinate is

precipitated with caustic lye solution to neutralize and filtered. The

cake, containing about 1% of uranium has been accumulated over 2-3 years

of operation in more than 10,000 drums. The project is to develop a

method to extract the valuable uranium from it and reduce the volume of

cake and make it suitable for land filling.
