THE SPECTROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF URANIUM BY THE CARRIER-DISTILLATION METHOD

Technical Report · Tue Dec 31 23:00:00 EST 1957

OSTI ID:4295356

Thc uranium metal is converted to U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ by direct ignition, and the oxide is mixed with a definite proportion of silver chloride carrier. The mixture is placed in a graphite cup which is made the anode for excitation in a d-c arc at 10 to 12 amps. Spectra are recorded photographically using a large glass/quartz spectrograph. Standard lines and limits of detection (ranging from 0.05 to 30 ppm) are given for the determination of the following elements: Au, Be, Bi, Co, Cr, Cu, Oa, Ge, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Tl, V, Pd, Ba, K, and Li.
