Braier, H A

A solution of uranyl ion, with traces of europium, in a sulfuric medium is passed through a bed of cationic resin, in such a way that the anionic complex of the uranyl is let through and the rare earth retained. The remainder of the uranium is washed with a sulfuric acid solution, and the rare earth is subjected to elution by hydrochloric acid. The final determination is made by spectrography. The fixation of europium by the resin and its subsequent elution is continued by adding Eu/sup 154/, which acts as a tracer. This method is promising for the determination of traces of the rare earths in Uranium because it is simpler than those described in the literature. (auth)
