COULOMETRIC TITRATION OF URANIUM IN NITRIC ACID SOLUTIONS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4130802· OSTI ID:4130802

A coulometric titration method was developed for the determination of uranium in HNO/sub 3/ solutions. Uranium was reduced to the (IV) state and was titrated with electrolytically generated cerium(IV). The colorimetric end point was detected automatically by a photometric technique. Interference from nitrate was eliminated by the addition of urea to the titration medium. The coefficient of variation for the analysis of uranium was 3.2% for 1-mg samples and 0.3% for 100-mg samples. With the addition of urea as much as 4.5 milliequivalents of nitric acid in a 1- to 3-ml sample was tolerated. (auth)
