Title: THE DETERMINATION OF URANIUM IN URANYL NITRATE SOLUTIONS (CERIC SULPHATE TITRATION)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4151117

A method for the determination of uranium in uranyl nitrate solutions was developed using ceric sulfate titration. After uranyl nitrate was heated with sulfuric acid to remove the nitrate, the uranium was reduced to the tetravalent state with aluminum. Then the uranium was titrated with standard ceric sulfate solution, in the presence of phosphoric acid, using ferroin as an internal indicator. (M.C.G.)
