Analytical chemistry of the Manhattan Project. NNES Div. VIII, Vol. 1, Chap. 2. Thorium

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5763379
In this chapter the general chemistry of thorium is briefly discussed with the greatest emphasis on analytical chemistry. Other sources of collected information on thorium are listed in the bibliography. In general, the analytical chemistry is not as complicated nor as fully developed as in the case of uranium. The methods of separating thorium are discussed at some length; these include precipitation, formation of various complexes, volatilization, and resin column absorption. The determination of thorium by gravimetric, titrimetric, and colorimetric means is discussed. 107 references.
