Tungsten in uranium--tungsten alloys is determined by precipitating the tungsten from a cold sulfuric acid solution using alpha -benzoinoxime and cinchonine as the precipitating agents. The precipitate is dgnited at 800 deg C and weighed as WO/sub 3/. Results of 94 determinations on known samples containing 20 to 40 milligrams of tungsten in the presence of 1 to 8 grams of uranium showed an average recovery of 100.1% with a standard deviation of 0.7%.
