Feeding the Abyss: Demon Yellowcake

Eden Garden.

Richard completed the first step of the preliminary extraction of the Uranium Element, obtaining a solution with relatively few impurities.

After finishing this, Richard left the laboratory and began his first rest in a long while.

"Rustle!"

He removed the heavy Hazmat Suit, washed himself thoroughly, replenished some food and salt water, and slept briefly.

About an hour later, Richard opened his eyes on a bed in one of the underground laboratory's rooms.

"Whoosh!"

He quickly got up, put on a new Hazmat Suit, replaced his Oxygen Tank, and began the second stage of Uranium Element purification.

This time, Richard took out the light yellow, translucent liquid he had specially prepared earlier from the warehouse.

The purpose of this liquid was to carry out specialized extraction.

Extraction, also known as solvent extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, or leaching, worked on the principle that different components in a system had different solubilities in solvents, allowing a mixture to be separated.

Simply put, since a substance had differing solubilities in two mutually immiscible solvents, this property could be used to transfer the substance from one solvent to the other.

Then, by separating the two immiscible liquids, one component of the mixture could also be separated.

Richard had fully considered all of this before the experiment, so he did not hesitate. Carrying the container of extractant, he entered the laboratory, opened the lid, and poured it into the reaction pool.

Once the extractant was added, it formed two extremely distinct layers with the Raw Liquid in the reaction pool, one above and one below.

Under the effect of attraction, specific substances in the reaction pool's Raw Liquid moved toward the extractant and were soon removed.

Without pausing, Richard continued working, repeatedly treating the reaction pool by other methods to remove the remaining impurities,
