Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine whether electrodialysis (ED) is suitable for removing molybdenum, carbonate and bicarbonate ions f rom leach solutions containing uranium. Four different anion exchange membranes were used for the operation: AMV Selemion, A229 Morgane, RAI 5035 and AR 204 UZL 412 Ionics. The results obtained can be considere d as providing a basis for developing an electrodialysis process of se paration between uranium and molybdenum.
