In practice, raffinate generated from a nuclear facility is either neutralized or evaporated or diluted and dispersed. Value recovery from such lean raffinate streams (approximate to 0.6g/l U+6) is of immense importance in view of the potential uranium resource. The HFDLM technique was found to be quite stable and promising for the complete recovery of uranium from plant raffinate. A model was developed for simulating transport phenomena of U from the given raffinate. Here, the developed model is extended to address the large-scale application of HF contactors. Mass transfer coefficients evaluated from the module of 1.4m(2) area have been utilized to predict the performance of the module of 8.1m(2) area. Successful large-scale tests were accomplished by employing a bigger membrane contactor with 8.1m(2) membrane area. Large scale set up has a throughput of 51l/hr for raffinate taken. The overall mass transfer coefficient of a system of 3 contactors of 1.4m(2) area combined in series is obtained as 1.55x10(-2)cm/s; stage efficiency of each contactor is found as 60%. A flux of 9.2x10(-3)moles/m(2)/hr was obtained for uranium which is about 3-4 times of supported liquid membrane in the HF module and about 10-50 times of solvent extraction in the conventional contactor.
