THE POLAROGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF URANIUM IN THE PRESENCE OF PLUTONIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4173748

A polarographic method for the determination of U in the presence of Fe and Pu is described. A 2M hydroxylantine hydrochloride solution is used as the supporting electrolyte. This solution reduced the Pu to Pu/sup 3+/ without reducing the U. The U is determined polarographically by difference in uranyl reduction wave height STAU(VI) to U(V)! at -0.35 v. Solutions witu a U/Pu weight ratio as low as 3.5 x 10/sup -3/ were analyzed with an error of less than 2%. (C.J.G.)
