The synthesis and performance of resins selective for adsorbing uranium from wet‐process phosphoric acid were studied. The resins' capacity for uranium was determined in batch experiments and in columns. The morphology of the resin was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The conditions of column loading and elution were found and the concentration of uranium in the eluent was increased more than 50‐fold from 0.15 g/l to 5–7.
