PEREKAYASAAN TANGKI PENGENDAP UNTUK MEMISAHKAN (NH4)4UO2(CO3)3 DARI CAIRAN NH4F

A DESIGN OF SETTLING TANK FOR SEPARATION OF (NH4)4UO2(CO3)3 FROM NH4F LIQUID. A Settling tank is designed for AUC (Ammonium Uranyl Carbonate) separation process from liquid containing of NH4F. From the design calculation results is concluded that the settling tank type is continuous clarifier of vertical cylindris with size of diameter 0.40 m, height of fluid 3.18 m, height of tank 3.5 m. Because the diameter of tank 0.40 m is lower than critical diameter (0.427 m) for slurry of AUC , the design of tank is safe geometrically. The settling velocity is 0.0008824 m/s, above the rate of linear overflow that is 0.0004665 m/s, theoretically there is no solid particles are carried away by the stream overflow and separation process goes well.
