THE DETERMINATION OF THORIUM IN URANYL NITRATE SOLUTIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4018246
A study of the Thorin complex with thorium was made and evidence is given for the formation of three complexes. An estimate is given for the stability constants of two of these complexes. A double coprecipitation on lanthanum fluoride was used to separate uranium prior to use of the spectrophotometric method for thorium, and fluoride is removed by acid evaporation and complexing with excess AlCl/sub 3/. The final method is satisfactory for routine plant analyses. (D L.C.)
