THE SPECTROGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF MAGNESIUM IN URANIUM, PRECEDED BY CONCENTRATION ON A CELLULOSE COLUMN

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4214320
An account of experimental work which led to the development of a satisfactory method for the spectrographic determination of magnesium in uranium is given. The method finally adopted consists of concentrating the impurities in uranium on a column of activated cellulose, the uranium being removed by 5% nitric acid/ether solvent. The magnesium is then eluted by means of a solution of ammonia/ammonium nitrate, and is determined by the normal iron flux spectrogaphic technique using a standard plate and line-pair equalities.
