A mathematical model has been developed for prediction of the performance of a continuous ion‐exchange column, comprising a series of fluidized beds of resin, operated with periodic flows of both phases. Simple small‐scale tests provide the data required in calculations. Experimental work was carried out on uranium extraction from unfiltered ore leach pulps and clarified liquors.
