Abstract

Monitoring uranium content in the resin within adsorption columns is critical in the in-situ leaching (ISL) uranium extraction process, as it indicates when the resin requires replacement. This study employs total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis with typical ISL leaching solutions to prepare samples for quantitative uranium analysis in resin. The study evaluates how leaching solution concentration, type, and volume affect detection efficiency. Assesses leaching solution elution efficiency by analyzing the suspension obtained after grinding the resin. Quantitative analysis results closely align with those from the laboratory pulse neutron method. TXRF enables rapid sample preparation and testing, making it ideal for quantitative uranium analysis in resin within adsorption columns during dynamic operation.
