THE DETERMINATION OF URANIUM IN DIBUTYL CARBITOL BY MONOCHROMATIC X-RAY ABSORPTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4012854
A monochromatic x-ray absorption method for the determination of uranium in dibutyl carbitol is described. Samples containing 0.001 to 0.015 gram of uraninm per milliliter may be analyzed directly, while higher concentrations may be analyzed by dilution with pure carbitol. The limit of error for a single determination at a 95% confidence level is plus or minus 1.24 percent in the 0.005 to 0.015 g U/ml concentration range. (auth)
