Abstract: The recovery of uranium from nuclear industrial effluent has been studied using laboratory column and polymeric ion exchange resin. The industrial effluent, at pH around 10, contains uranium (40 mg/L), ammonium (80 g/L) and carbonate (170 g/L) and cannot be discharged without previous treatment. Uranium is in the form of uranyl quadrivalent complex anions [UO2(CO3)3]4-. The resin IRA 910 U was employed for its specific application for uranium extraction. Adsorption was carried out at flow rate of 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mL/min, which corresponds to a retention time of 10, 5.0 and 2.5 min, respectively.
