TUNGSTEN INTERFERENCE IN VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS OF URANIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4298841

Tungsten was found to have a negligible effect on the determination of uranium in uranium-zirconium alloys by the Jones reductor-dichromate method used at KAPL. The tungstate ion interferred seriously and gave high results. However, the soluble tungsten was precipitated by intensive fuming with sulfuric acid and rendered ineffective in tbe subsequent oxidationreduction reactions of the uranium. (auth)
