Abstract

The decontamination of uranium contaminated acidic waters consists of selective removal of uranium by ion exchange using strong base anion resin. This is a process that can dramatically reduce ionic contaminants from the effluent concentration levels established by regulatory agencies. This document aims to describe the optimization of Ion Exchange (IT) process using OriginPro ® 9.1.0 software in phases of loading and elution, adopted for the removal of uranium from waters originating from acid mine drainage (AMD) from Basin Nestor Figueiredo (BNF) of Ore Treatment Unit (UTM), located in Caldas, Minas Gerais.
