Calcining-Amenability Testing of Rand Precipitates (open access)

Calcining-Amenability Testing of Rand Precipitates

Test work on two samples of high-grade Rand uranium precipitate indicated the desirability of calcining it at 400' to 500'C. to cut shipping costs and provide a refinery feed quite amenable to treatment by the nitric acid digestion-TBP process.
