THE DETERMINATION OF URANIUM IN BISMUTH BASE ALLOYS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4269489
The uranium is determined polarographically, using an acid tartrate medium, on the residue obtained after the bismuth has been removed by volatilization as the bromide. Depending on the amounts of other elements in the residue, the determination is carried out directly or after a further separation of uranium nitrate by elution with ether from a cellulose column. On a sample weight of 1 g of bismuth, uranium contents of 10 ppm may be determined with accuracy, and lower amounts detected. At a level of 50 ppm the coefficient of variation is 1.5%. (auth)
