Synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate is prepared by an inorganic process from a reaction mixture, which contains, in an aqueous alkaline medium SiO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 or their hydrated derivatives or alkali silicates and aluminates, mineralizers and optionally seeding crystals, the reaction mixture containing: SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in molar ratio of 15-40, OH.sup.- /SiO.sub.2 in molar ratio 0.1-0.2, and H.sub.2 O/SiO.sub.2 in molar ratio 20-60. The aluminosilicate produced by the process has a chemical composition expressed in molar ratios as: 0-3 M.sub.2 O:Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :15-40 SiO.sub.2 :0-40 H.sub.2 O, where M represents an alkali cation. The aluminosilicate is useful in the preparation of catalysts and adsorbents.

Disclosed is a method for preparing crystalline gallosilicates having a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 /Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 .gtoreq.5 an having a more uniform particle size with enhanced catalytic activity. According to the method of the invention, crystalline gallosilicates are prepared by adding an aged, gallosilicate nuclei-forming gel having a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 /Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 .gtoreq.5 to an aqueous, alkaline solution containing reactive silicon and gallium compounds to form a mixture. The mixture is then subjected to hydrothermal crystallization conditions to form the crystalline gallosilicate. The gallosilicates prepared by the disclosed method is useful for the preparation of catalysts and adsorbents and in processes for converting low molecular weight hydrocarbons to higher aliphatics and aromatic compounds.

An economical and environmentally safe method for synthesizing wide-pore aluminophosphate crystalline molecular sieves primarily involves inorganic synthesis requiring no structure-directing organic templates. In addition to aluminium and phosphate, further components selected from group IV of the periodic table of elements can be added to synthesize multi-component phosphate molecular sieves such as germano-silico-alumino-phosphate crystalline structures.

A method for continuously extracting uranium from ores comprises the steps of forming a slurry of ore in a leaching solution; heating the slurry while pumping it through a tube reactor at high turbulences characterized by Reynolds numbers in excess of 50,000; supplying gaseous oxygen at high pressures of at least 30 bar into the tube reactor such that the uranium is substantially completely oxidized in a soluble form but impurities in the slurry are substantially kept from becoming soluble; recovering the uranium oxide solute which is substantially free of impurities.

Method for extraction of uranium from ores

A method of recovering fluorine, e.g. as hydrogen fluoride, from wastes of aluminum electrolysis furnaces, chemisorbents, adsorbents or absorbents, etc. in which the fluorine-containing material is subjected to pyrohydrolysis in an expanded fluid bed and the HF-containing gas is subjected to condensation or scrubbing for the removal of the HF therefrom. According to the invention, the exhaust gases from the fluidized bed are cooled by direct contact with solids which can be circulated in a separate cycle and are themselves cooled in a cooler, e.g. by contact with gas which is to be fed to the expanded fluidized bed. The circulated solids thus allow recovery of the sensible heat of the gas without diluting it.
