9954 ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for protecting an ion- exchange resin in a uranium and/or related values recovery operation from poisoning by polythionates contained in the leach solution. A guard chamber containing a catalytic material is positioned in the leaching circuit upstream of the resin so the leach solution will pass through the catalytic material before it contacts the resin. The catalytic material, e.g. activated carbon, converts the polythionates to non- poisoning thiosulfates, sulfites, and water which offer no poisoning threat to the resins. An oxidant, e.g. oxygen, is added to the leach solution before it passes through the catalytic material to speed up the catalytic reaction.
