THE ESTIMATION OF VANADIUM IN AQUEOUS AND DIBUTYLCARBITOL SOLUTIONS OF URANIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4174795
Methods were developed for the determination of vanadium in aqueons and dibutylcarbitol solutions of uranium. Vanadium was extracted as the cupferride with chloroform and subsequently converted to pervanadic acid with hydrogen peroxide. The extractions of the yellow solutions so produced are co1apared by means of a spekker absorptiometer. Dibutylcarbitol solutions are extracted with water from which soluble dibutylcarbitol is removed by evaporation with sulfuric acid. The vanadium in aqueous solution is again estimated as pervanadic acid. The method is applicable only to the determination of vanadium in solutions free from those elements which are extractable as chloroform soluble cupferron complexes at pH 1.5, and which also produce colored solutions in the addition of hydrogen peroxide.
