Abstract

Today, with the expansion of business relations at international levels, there are many organizations that operate in global supply chains. Activities at such levels face new types of challenges in various fields of "supply chain management" pillars, of which "supplier selection" is one of them. The possibility of unexpected events, the need to comply with environmental protection laws, as well as the need to take into account social considerations, are among the things that have increased by being in larger supply chains, making it challenging to provide the basic resources needed in such chains and forcing their managers to considering considerations other than what they have always...

Abstract

In this research, the recovery of uranium from the phosphate ore of the Sheikh Habil-Iran mine using flotation/calcination-leaching processes has been investigated. A 75–150 μm phosphate ore particle size, sodium oleate as a collector with a concentration of 2,000 g/ton of rock, pH = 10, and 5 min flotation time were obtained as the optimum parameters of flotation using the reverse method, leading to phosphate ore with a grade of 180 ppm UO2, 36.1% P₂O₅, 7.22% SiO2, and CaO/P₂O₅ = 1.23. The optimum calcination parameters were selected as 100 μm phosphate ore particles size at D80, 900°C temperature, and 2 h heating time, which resulted in phosphate ore with a grade of 173 ppm UO2 and 31.9%...

Leaching of Uranium from pHospHate Ores of Sheikh Habil Region in the Process of pHospHoric Acid Production (in a Wet Way)

Abstract

In this research, uranium is leached from pHospHate ore of Sheikh Habil region by leaching operation using leaching agent (sulfuric acid) along with production of pHospHoric acid. In the following, the production of yellow cake from the produced liqueur solution (pHospHoric acid) by solvent extraction process is also mentioned. PHospHate ore contains a large amount of calcite and dolomite, which removal of these annoying elements by wet, dry and acid washing methods is the key to success in the production of pHospHoric acid. For this purpose, in the wet method of a flotation system, the dry method of heat furnace and in the acid washing method, various organic and inorganic acids were used...
