Cloud point and solvent extraction study of uranium(VI) by 8-hydroxyquinoline
Right now, Gill said, one of the early analyses of the DOE program's work was that it would cost a little over $1,000 to get a 1kg (2.2lb) of uranium out of seawater. Now, he says, he estimates it as a little over $200 per kilogram ($440 per pound). But even if costs have fallen, to extract uranium from seawater "on a commercial scale you ...
