3. The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more members of the child dimensional level include the one or more members of the intersection of the selected member of the first dimensional level and the members of the child dimensional level.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, by the computing device, a selection of an indication of a second dimensional level of the first dimension using the control element; and
updating, by the computing device, each of the two or more components to cause the two or more components to display one or more members of a second dimensional level indicated by the selection.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the selection of the indication of the second dimensional level includes a selection of the indication of the intersection of the second dimensional level with a member of a parent dimensional level of the second dimensional level.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, by the computing device, a selection of a second dimension of the database; and
updating, by the computing device, the two or more components to cause the two or more components to display one or more members of a dimensional level of the second dimension.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
determining, by the computing device, a second dimensional level of a second dimension having one or more members displayed in two or more of the plurality of components; and
displaying a control element including an indication of the second dimensional level of the second dimension having one or more members displayed in two or more of the plurality of components.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:
receiving, by the computing device, a selection of a member of a third dimensional level of the second dimension using the control element; and
updating, by the computing device, each of the two or more components to cause the two or more components to display one or more members of a child dimensional level of the third dimensional level of the selected member.
9. The method of claim 7, further comprising:
receiving, by the computing device, a selection of an indication of a fourth dimensional level of the second dimension using the control element; and
updating, by the computing device, each of the two or more components to cause the two or more components to display one or more members of the fourth dimensional level indicated by the selection.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A process for the extraction of uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA), the process comprising:
lowering iron content of WPA by precipitating iron to produce a lowered iron WPA;
reducing valency of any remaining iron in the lowered iron WPA to produce a reduced iron valency WPA; and
extracting uranium compounds from the reduced iron valency WPA using an ion exchange process comprising contacting the reduced iron valency WPA with an ion exchange resin and eluting the ion exchange resin.
2. The process of claim 1, wherein the ion exchange process comprises passing the WPA through a multi-stage chelating ion exchange column system and eluting the ion exchange column system.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein lowering iron content of WPA to produce a lowered iron WPA comprises precipitating the iron as iron ammonium phosphate.
4. A process for the extraction of uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA), the process comprising:
lowering the iron content of WPA to produce a lowered iron WPA;
reducing the valency of iron in the lowered iron WPA to produce a reduced iron valency WPA; and
extracting uranium compounds from the reduced iron valency WPA,
wherein lowering the iron content of the WPA comprises precipitating the iron as an iron ammonium phosphate compound;
wherein reducing the valency of iron in the WPA comprises reducing ferric iron to ferrous iron by contacting the WPA with one or more substances selected from the group consisting of: a ferro-phosphorous compound, a ferro-silicon compound, and metallic iron, and
wherein extracting uranium compounds comprises an ion exchange process comprising passing the WPA through a multi-stage chelating ion exchange column system and eluting the ion exchange column system.
5. A process for the extraction of uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA), the process comprising:
lowering iron content of WPA by precipitating iron to produce a lowered iron content WPA;
adding a reducing agent to the lowered iron content WPA to reduce the valency of any remaining iron in the lowered iron content WPA and produce a reduced iron valency WPA; and
extracting uranium compounds dissolved in the reduced iron valency WPA using an ion exchange process by contacting the reduced iron valency WPA with an ion exchange resin and eluting the ion exchange resin.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein lowering iron content of WPA to produce a lowered iron WPA comprises precipitating the iron as iron ammonium phosphate.
