The behavior of some tripolyphosphate complexes at the dropping mercury electrode has been examined, in particular that of the uranyl tripolyphosphate complex. The uranyl ion in alkaline tripolyphosphate medium undergoes an irreversible one-electron reduction. Indifferent salts shift the E/sup 1/2 to more positive potentials whereas maximum suppressors have an opposite effect. The wave obtained in presence of 0.01% camphor is well-defined and suitable for use in uranium analysis. (auth)
