Abstract

At Elliot Lake, Ontario, thorium has been recovered from uranium ore leach solutions, after removal of the uranium by ion exchange resin, since 1959. A solvent extraction process is used, and the thorium is recovered as thorium sulfate by stripping the loaded solvent with moderately strong sulfuric acid.
