Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019000014A1] The present specification relates to a method for removing actinium from process liquors comprising ions of interest (which may be, for example, rare earth ions) and actinium ions. In this method, a low solubility metal sulfate salt is caused to precipitate from a solution comprising ions of interest and actinium ions. Actinium ions become associated with the precipitate causing them to be removed from the solution. The method allows actinium to be removed from the solution selectively i.e. without the concurrent removal of substantial amounts of the ions of interest present in the solution.
