ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF URANIUM IN PLANT SOLUTIONS AND PLANT INTERMEDIATES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4226217

The uranium is precipitated from solutions as ammonium diuranate which is ignited at 900 deg C, and the U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ weighed. Solid samples are ignited directly at 900 deg C. The bias of the method depends on the non-volatile impurity content of the sample. The method is a rapid procedure for the determination of uranium in uranic materials including ammonium diuranate, uranium oxides, and solutions of uranyl nitrate. (auth)
