Abstract

The invention relates to a process for producing uranium, various metals and rare earths from phosphate matrices (raw and residues). This process involves an attack by hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride or a mixture of fluoride (KF+NH4F). The same HF acidulation procedure can be applied to other matrices such as phosphogypsum (PG) to extract uranium, various metals and rare earths after gravimetric separation. In the case of PG, sulfuric acid is generated as a by-product.
