Estimated Manufacturing Costs for the Recovery of Thorium and Uranium from Monazite Sand (open access)

Estimated Manufacturing Costs for the Recovery of Thorium and Uranium from Monazite Sand

Abstract: "Costs have been estimated for the production of uranium and pure thorium from monasite concentrates by a process involving (1) reaction of monasite with caustic soda, (2) dissolution of the hydrous oxides in hydrochloric acid, (3) separation from the bulk of the rare earths by hydroxide precipitation of thorium and uranium, and (4) purification by solvent extraction."
