THE ABSORPTIOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHORUS IN URANIUM METAL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4303523
The sample is dissolved in nitric acid and just neutrialized with ammonia. Acidified ammonium molybdate converts the phosphorus to phosphomolybdic acid which is reduced with stannous chloride to Molybdenum Blue'' and the latter measured absorptiometrically. The method is applicable from about 1 to 10 ppm. Arsenic must be absent but up to 500 ppm of si1icon does not interfere. (auth)
