Title: RADIOMETRIC STUDY ON THE SUITABILITY OF CINCHONIN AS PRECIPITATION REAGENT FOR TUNGSTEN AND MOLYBDENUM (in German)

OSTI ID:4645110

The precipitation of W and Mo with cinchonin was studied using P/sup 32/ , Mp/sup 99/, and W/sup 185/. The effects of the acid, acid concentration, solution volume, and precipitation time on the quantitative precipitation of the metals were determined. W was precipitated only from HCl and HNO/sub 3/, and no quantitative precipitation of Mo was obtained. No variation was found in the completeness of the precipitation using HCl concentrations of 1 to 6N, but precipitation is prevented or strongly inhibited in very strong solutions. The quantitative precipitation of W is very strongly dependent on the solution volume, but there is no sharp time dependence. A study of the effectiveness of cinchonin and tannin as combined precipitation agents showed no advantage over the use of cinchonin alone, except in the removal of interferring elements in the precipitation.
