Summary

The absorption of uranium and sulfate from sulfate solutions by the anion exchange resin Amberlite IRA-400 in the chloride form has been studied using pure solutions. Strong bisulfate adsorption in addition to sulfate absorption was found to occur in acid solutions. Uranium adsorption was found to increase with uranium concentration and with pH, and to decrease with increasing sulfate concentration. Magnesium sulfate was found to retard uranium adsorption to a greater extent than sodium sulfate. Evidence was found which indicates that the uranium complex anion is of general form UO₂(SO₄)n²⁻²n.
