OSTI ID:4269371

Methods for the determination of lead, iron aluminum, calcium, and magnesium follow classical procedures after extraction of the uranium using ether. Arsenic is determined volumetrically using iodine, cobalt potentiometrically using ferricyaride, and manganese volumetrically after oxidation to permanganate. Molybdenum, nickel, phosphorus, and silicon are determined gravimetrically by adaptation of classical procedures following separations from the main bulk of uranium where necessary, The methods were designed specifically for the analysis of pitchblende but they may, with some modification, be used as the basis for the analysis of other ores or concentrates.
