THE ABSORPTIOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULPHUR IN URANIUM METAL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4234978
The sample is dissolved in aqua regia. After removal of excess nitric acid by boiling with formic acid, the solution is further boiled to remove excess formic and hydrochloric acids. Hydriodic acidhypophosphorous acid mixture is then added and the solution distilled. Any sulfate present is thus reduced to hydrogen sulfide which is carried over in a stream of nitrogen, absorbed in zinc acetate solutions and subsequently determined absorptiometrically as Lauth's violet.
