A process has been developed for purification of South Australian Uranium Oxide. The freshly precipitated crude oxide is leached in 5 percent ammonium carbonate solution, and the uranium recovered by boiling the filtered leach solution. Some impurities may be precipitated as phosphates before boiling. The product contains some boron but should be siutable for electrolytic production of reactor grade uranium metal.
