Ion Exchange-Spectrographic Determination of Thorium in Uranium Ores

Journal Article · · Applied Spectroscopy
The determination of 0.01 ppm of thorium in 1 g of uranium ore by a combined ion exchange-spectrographic analysis is presented. Thorium is separated from the chemically complex ore solution by anion exchange in hydrochloric and nitric acid media and determined spectrographically using zirconium as the internal standard. The precision of the method expressed as a coefficient of variation is estimated to be plus or minus 6%. (auth)
