Table 2. Typical Contaminant Solution Concentrations Prior to (A) Silica Precipitation and (B) Uranium-phosphate Precipitationa.
| contaminant | U | Si | Sb | Mo | Fe | Al | Mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (A) silica precipitation-stage 2 (mg L–1) | 200 | 20 000 | 1800 | 300 | 30 | 30 | 20 |
| (B) uranium precipitation-stage 3 (mg L–1) | 28* | 107 | 38 | 44 | 6 | 4 | 10 |
Concentrations determined by ICP-OES (* represents that uranium concentration is lower due to dilution).
