Abstract
A process to maintain a high iron +2/iron +3 concentration in the reductive stripping system for recovering uranium from wet-process phosphoric acid, comprises contacting partially oxidized strip acid, containing substantial amounts of iron +3, which had just previously stripped uranium values from an organic solvent, with elemental iron to reduce iron +3 to iron +2 and provide a Fe.sup.+2 /Fe.sup.o conversion ratio of from about 1.5 to 3.0.
