The Johnson Camp property is located 65 miles east of Tucson, Arizona, US and carries substantial proven reserves of copper ore. Mining was commenced in the Johnson Camp mine by Cyprus Mines Corporation in the mid-1970s but ended ten years later due to low copper prices. The asset is now 100% owned by Nord Resources.

Solvent extraction is a continuous loading/stripping cycle involving the use of an organic liquid to carry the extractant which removes the uranium from solution. Typically, in solvent extraction, tertiary amines* are used in a kerosene diluent, and the phases move countercurrently. 2R 3 N + H 2 SO 4 ====> (R 3 NH) 2 SO 4

Uranyl nitrate is produced by the ore-processing operations described above as well as by solvent extraction from irradiated nuclear reactor fuel (described below, see Conversion to plutonium). In either case, it is an excellent starting material for conversion to uranium metal or for eventual enrichment of the uranium-235 content.

Manganese. A more progressive extraction process involves directly reducing manganese ore in a heap leach This is done by percolating natural gas through the bottom of the heap; the natural gas provides the heat (needs to be at least 850 °C) and the reducing agent (carbon monoxide) This reduces all of the manganese ore to manganese oxide (MnO), which is a leachable form The ore then travels ...

A process for extracting uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA) includes lowering iron content of WPA to produce a lowered iron WPA, reducing valency of any remaining iron in the lowered iron WPA to produce a reduced iron valency WPA. Uranium compounds are extracted from the reduced iron valency WPA via a solvent extraction process.

Aug 21, 2022Uranium is then extracted from the leach solution using a solvent extraction process. This process is typically carried out using an organic solvent, such as tributyl phosphate, which selectively absorbs uranium from the leach solution. The uranium-rich solvent is then stripped of uranium using an aqueous solution.
