A RAPID METHOD FOR THE ABSORPTIOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF IRON IN URANIUM METAL

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

OSTI ID:4303524

The metal is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Excess peroxide is removed by treatment with sodium sulfite. Iron is determined absorptiometrically as its thioglycollic acid complex which is developed in the presence of ammonium carbonate and ammonium citrate. The method was devised specifically for use in a laboratory in which there is a regular and frequent demand for this determination. The cleansing procedure, the solution acid'' and the use of a composite reagent are the factors introduced to permit results from a set of eight determinations to be reported within 1 to 2 h. (auth)
