DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNTS OF MOLYBDENUM IN URANIUM BY THE COLOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOLVENT LAYER (in Japanese)

Journal Article · · Japan Analyst

A simplified procedure for the determination of molybdenum in metallic uranium and in uranium oxide was proposed. The sample was dissolved in hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Molybdenum in the solution was extracted into butyl acetate and washed with dilute hydrochloric acid. The butyl acetate extract was shaken with the dilute hydrochloric acid solution containing ammonium thiocyanate, stannous chloride, and perchloric acid, and the color developed in the butyl acetate layer was measured at about 460 m mu . Satisfactory results were obtained over the range of 0 to 20 ppm of molybdenum. (auth)
