Spectrophotometric Determination of Titanium Traces in Uranyl Nitrate; determinacion espectrofotometrica de trazas de titano en nitrato de uranilo

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4238574
The determination of tracers of titanium in uranyl nitrate is studied. The colorimetric method with H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ showed little sensitivity in the extreme conditions desired. The colorimetry with thymol was tested. The absorption spectra of the titanium-thymol complex and of the blank of the reagents were determined. The work range was found to be between 4000 and 4500 A, with an absorption maximum at 4400 A. The complex follows Beer's law within a wide concentration range. The range between 0 and 60 gamma of titanium in 10 ml was selected. Assays made on samples of titaniumfree uranyl nitrate gave consistent results with admissible error limits, when known amounts of titanium were added. Interferences from vanadium and tungsten were studied. (auth)
