ABSORPTIOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF NICKEL IN URANIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4189712
A method for the separation and determination of nickel in uranium by extraction of its chloroform soluble dimethyl glyoxime complex from ammoniacal citrate solution is presented. The nickel is obtained in aqueous solution by shaking the chloroform estract with dilute hydrochloric acid. This procedure also serves to separate the nickel from other elements forming complexes with dimethyl glyoxime, particularly iron, copper, and cobalt. Salt effects, the use of hypoiodite and hypobromite as oxidants, and the choice of filters in the spectrophotometers were investigated. (auth)
