A highly sensitive and selective method is described for the spectrophotometric determination of uranium. The chromogenic reagent is 4-(2- pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR), and the determination is carried out at pH 8.0 in the presence of a mixed complexing solution containing (1,2cyclohexylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid, sulfosalicylate, and fluoride. Most metals, including thorium, are masked by the complexing solution. Uranium forms a 1: 1 complex with PAR, which has a molar absorptivity of 38,700 at 530 M mu . A preliminary separation of uranium from gross amounts of impurities may be accomplished by a rapid chelating-resin ion exchange procedure. (auth)
