Recovery of Uranium From Congo Leach Liquors With Ion Exchange Resins (open access)

Recovery of Uranium From Congo Leach Liquors With Ion Exchange Resins

A method is described for recovery of uranium from sulfuric acid leach liquors of Congo ores using anion exchange resins. Excellent uranium recoveries were obtained in cyclic tests which indicate uranium capacities of 11 to 26 lbs. of U3O8 per cubic foot of resin per day. Preliminary tests indicate that sulfuric acid may be as effective as hydrochloric acid in providing the required acidity in the eluant.

Application of Heavy Media Separation, Flotation and Carbonate Leaching to Congo Ores

The investigation of magnesitic-dolomite uranium ores from Union Miniere du Haute Katanga, Belgian Congo, was undertaken in order to examine the possibility of separating the uranium minerals from the carbonate minerals by Heavy Media Separation or froth flotation; thus reducing the sulfuric acid consumption during the uranium leach. In addition, the effect of carbonate leaching the whole ore and carbonate flotation products was examined.

Fifth Quarterly Progress Report on Fission Product Applications Using Gaseous Beta Sources

"Rates of acetylene polymerization induced by Kr/sup 85/ in d-c fields were up to 15 times greater than those observed when no fields were imposed. Work to determine the relations between acetylene pressure, Kr/sup 85/ concentration, and the field intensity is continuing. In other activities, equipment is being designed to study the effects of megacycle electric fields on radioinduced chemical reactions."

High-Energy, Low-Thrust Jupiter Missions (open access)

High-Energy, Low-Thrust Jupiter Missions

Previous studies have been made of the relationship among acceleration, specific power, payload fraction, and travel time for many interplanetary missions. These utilized tangential thrust and correspond to the high thrust Hohmann transfer orbits. In addition, a complete optimization of the one way Mars mission has been accomplished. Since the minimum Jupiter round trip time was six and a half years for tangential thrust, calculations were carried out using higher energy transfer orbits. It is shown that the orbit-matching problem cannot be solved with tangential thrust programming in this case. The initial period of acceleration away from the earth's orbit was accomplished using tangential thrust in order to minimize energy expenditure. This was followed by a period of coasting until the proper moment arrived for commencing the orbit-matching maneuver. This terminates when the velocity and spatial coordinates of Jupiter's orbit are matched. The technique used for accomplishing these various orbit matching conditions without iteration are described. Best results for the final maneuver were obtained with the thrust vector approximately normal to the velocity vector. By this technique it is shown that the round-trip Jupiter mission may be carried out in four and an half years with 16% payload and 0.10 …
