A method for the determination of trace molybdenum in uranium is described based on its specific catalytic reduction wave in the presence of nitric acid. Molybdenum is separated from uranium by α‐benzoin oxime extraction and determined by differential pulse polarography. As lower as 1 ng/ml of Mo(VI) is determinable and 98% of recovery can be obtained at present work.
A method for the simultaneous determination of trace Dy, Eu, Gd and Sm in nuclear grade uranium oxide by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry has been developed. The process of uranium extraction and ICP/AES optimization are investigated. The detection limits of Dy, Eu, Gd and Sm are 0.003, 0.002, 0.006 and 0.010 μg/ml respectively, and more than 90% recovery can be obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
