THE ABSORPTIOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SILICON IN URANIUM METAL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4269332
The metal, in the form of turnings, is dissolved in a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids. The silicon is converted to silico-molybdic acid, and the comploxed molybdenum is reduced to ''molybdenum blue'' and then determined absorptiometrically. The method is suitable for a concentration range of 5 to 250 ppm of soluble silicon. The insoluble silicon is usually low. (auth)
